To all those who celebrate, Happy Lunar New Year!
Also known as the Spring Festival, Chūnjié in Mandarin, Seollal in Korean, and Tết in Vietnamese, Lunar New Year is one the most important holidays among East and Southeast Asian communities, welcoming spring and a new year on the lunisolar calendar.
Celebrated over the course of fifteen days, beginning Saturday, February 10, Lunar New Year is a time of prosperity and joy, with an abundance of gatherings honoring family legacy and ancestral lineage.
