Lunar New Year 2027 Events in Denver, CO

Here's a fun fact: Colorado recognizes Lunar New Year as an official state holiday. And the Denver area celebrates like it, from Federal Boulevard to the Botanic Gardens. Lunar New Year's Day is Saturday, February 6, 2027, the start of the Year of the Goat.

The celebration billed as Colorado's longest-running is at the Far East Center on South Federal Boulevard, which held its free Lunar New Year celebration on February 21 and 22, 2026. Earlier that month, the Denver Botanic Gardens hosted a Lunar New Year Market on February 14, and Aurora's Havana Street celebrated on February 15.

Got kids? The Colorado Chinese New Year Celebration filled George Washington High School on February 14, 2026, and Stanley Marketplace in Aurora wrapped up the season with performances on February 28. The 2027 dates haven't been announced yet.
