Celebrating Lunar New Year in Cy-Fair

January 29 2024

The Lunar New Year, a significant festival observed by millions around the world, is set to begin on February 10, marking the dawn of a new lunar calendar cycle. This year, we welcome the Year of the Dragon, a symbol of strength, luck, and power in many Asian cultures. The dragon, known for its charismatic and vibrant nature, signifies a year full of energy, potential, and prosperity.

Celebrations honoring Lunar New Year are marked by dances and fireworks, culminating in the Lantern Festival. The origins of Lunar New Year date back thousands of years and are associated with legends, such as the story of Nian, a beast scared away by red decorations, loud noises, and firecrackers.

Although there are many Lunar New Year celebrations happening across the Greater Houston Area, you can get in on the fun close to home with rich cultural experiences designed for the entire community. Check out our lineup below and mark your calendars!
