About Lunar New Year 2026
Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, is one of the most important holidays celebrated across East Asia and by Asian communities worldwide. In 2026, we welcome the Year of the Horse.
The celebration typically lasts 15 days, culminating in the Lantern Festival. Traditions include family reunions, special meals, red envelopes (hongbao) with money, fireworks, dragon and lion dances, and honoring ancestors.
The Horse in Chinese zodiac represents energy, passion, and freedom. Those born in the Year of the Horse are believed to be animated, active, and energetic.
