Festivities Mark a Fresh Start for Millions Across Asia and Beyond

As the Lunar New Year begins with the first new moon of the lunar calendar, millions of people across Asia and globally are taking part in the celebrations. For many in Asia, and numerous Asian communities worldwide, this marks the most significant event of the year, symbolising new beginnings.

The streets come alive with fireworks, music, vibrant fairs, and dazzling lantern displays. Dragon and lion dances are a central feature of the festivities, which typically span 15 days. This period of joy and renewal is a time for families to unite and communities to celebrate the promise of a fresh start.
