Chinese New Year
The 2024 Lunar New Year is upon us, taking place on Feb. 10. Compared to the standard New Year calendar, the Lunar New Year — this time the Year of the Dragon — is celebrated over the course of multiple days.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is seen as a symbol of authority, honor and dignity, and has long represented imperial power. The Year of the Dragon is considered a lucky one, and the year is said to bring the ability to harness intelligence, leadership and creative pursuits.

Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner/Dance
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a harvest festival celebrated by ethnic Chinese and Vietnamese people. The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar with full moon at night, corresponding to late September to early October of the Gregorian calendar with full moon at night.
Mainland China listed the festival as an "intangible cultural heritage" in 2006 and a public holiday in 2008. Due to China's influence, Mid-Autumn Festival is also celebrated in other parts of Asia. Mooncakes have also appeared in western countries as a form of delicacy.
