Ano Novo Lunar

Join us for a fun class all about the Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year is spectacular, loud, and for many cultures across Asia the most important festival of the year.

The festival begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the calendar, and ends with the ‘Lantern Festival’ on the 15th day.

When is Lunar New Year?

The date of Lunar New Year differs every year. In 2025 it occurs on 29 January. 

In many cultures, each year is also associated with an animal from the zodiac. Often the animals are the same across different Asian countries, including China, South Korea, North Korea, Singapore and Cambodia. See the table below to see which animals are associated with which years.
