Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year rolls around every year between 21st January and 20th February, bringing with it one of the most exciting celebrations across East and Southeast Asia! This multi-day fiesta is all about family, fun, and fresh starts. Each year in the Lunar calendar is marked by one of the twelve zodiac animals, and the celebrations go all out to honour that animal’s unique significance. Get ready for a global party that lights up the world with joy, good food, and big dreams for the year ahead!


While often referred to as ‘Chinese New Year’ or ‘Spring Festival (春节), Lunar New Year embraces a variety of customs across many Asian countries, each with their own unique cultural flavours and traditions. In China, celebrations include dragon and lion dances, firecrackers, and giving red envelopes filled with money to children. In Korea, people wear traditional attire and children receive blessings and gifts. Vietnamese families visit temples to pray for good fortune, while enjoying dishes like pickled scallions and candied fruits. In the Philippines, locals often wear polka dots, symbolising prosperity and good luck.
