Lunar New Year questions, answered
Is Lunar New Year the same as Chinese New Year?
Chinese New Year is one of several Lunar New Year celebrations. The same new moon is welcomed as Tết in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea, and by many other communities around the world. You'll find all of them here.
How long does Lunar New Year last?
Longer than you might think. Traditionally the party runs about two weeks and wraps up with the Lantern Festival on the 15th day. In the US and Canada, many parades and festivals happen on the weekends before and after Lunar New Year's Day, so there's often more than one chance to join in.
Are Lunar New Year events free?
Lots of them are. Many parades and street festivals cost nothing to watch, while concerts, shows and banquets usually need a ticket. Each listing shows the cost when the organizer has published it.
