What is Lunar New Year?
While often known as Chinese New Year, this spring festival is celebrated in multiple Asian countries between January and February. It begins on the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends on the first full moon. This year's Lunar New Year is recognized on February 1st, but expect celebrations to start this week and last until about Feb. 15th.
Happy Year of the Tiger!
