Lunar New Year: A Time for Renewal, Family, and Cultural Pride
Lunar New Year is the most important traditional festival in Chinese culture — a time to celebrate renewal, honor ancestors, and welcome prosperity for the year ahead. Known as Spring Festival (春节), it marks the beginning of the lunar calendar and is filled with symbolism, vibrant traditions, and deep cultural meaning.
At the Chinese Culture Center (CCC), Lunar New Year is more than a holiday — it’s a celebration of identity, history, and community. From lion dances and red envelopes to dumplings and firecrackers, every custom carries generations of wisdom and joy.
Our annual Spring Festival Celebration brings the heart of this tradition to life through public performances, art exhibitions, family-friendly workshops, and cultural storytelling. It’s a moment when Chinatown comes alive, and people of all backgrounds are invited to take part.
Whether you’re reconnecting with heritage or experiencing the festival for the first time, CCC’s Lunar New Year events are open to all — honoring the past while celebrating a shared future.
