It is the most important holiday in China\, and it is also widely celebrated in South Korea\, Vietnam\, and countries with a significant overseas Chinese population. While the official dates encompassing the holiday vary by culture\, many who celebrate the holiday consider it the time of the year to reunite with loved ones. In the Chinese zodiac\, 2025 is the Year of the (Wood) Snake. The celebrations begin with New Year’s Eve on January 28 and last for 15 days\, concluding with the Lantern Festival on February 12. Different regions across Asia celebrate Lunar New year in many ways and may follow a different zodiac. ” Find out more… \n  URL:https://greensborohistory.org/event/lunar-new-year-community-celebration/ LOCATION:Greensboro History Museum\, 130 Summit Ave.\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27401\, United States CATEGORIES:At the Museum,Family Fun,Member Event,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://greensborohistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/LunarNewYear017edit-scaled-e1733928934408.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250215T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250215T160000 DTSTAMP:20260406T102649 CREATED:20250122T021959Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251208T152339Z UID:4558-1739631600-1739635200@greensborohistory.org SUMMARY:Our Communities: South Benbow Road Historic District DESCRIPTION:Learn about Greensboro’s newest district on the National Register of Historic Places.
