Lunar New Year

Late January, early February

While many may know it as Chinese New Year, the inclusive Lunar New Year is more appropriate as this celebration takes place throughout many different countries. During this time of year, Asian nations observe their own unique, regional traditions including wearing red, decorating the home in red and gold, and exchanging red envelopes filled with money as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Lunar New Year is one of the most important holidays around the world for the more than 1 billion people who celebrate it.
