Ridgewood NJ, Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, is China’s most important festival. It is time for families to be together and a week of an official public holiday. Chinese New Year 2021 falls on Friday, February 12, 2021, beginning a year of the Ox. China’s public holiday will be February 11–17, 2021.
Chinese New Year can be more properly referred to as Lunar New Year because of the event’s widespread observance beyond only Chinese culture. Lunar New Year celebrations mark the start of spring on the lunisolar calendar each January or February.
Chinese New Year is about symbolically doing away with the old of the previous year and beginning anew to usher in health, prosperity, and good fortune in the new lunar year.
The Lunar New Year runs for 15 consecutive days and is celebrated not just in Asia but throughout the world! The holiday actually creates the largest human migration on the planet each year.
Happy new year 🎊. Great food & lots of fun in China town.
