Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday of the year for millions of East Asians around the world.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation to declare Asian Lunar New Year a public school holiday across New York state. The new law ensures schools are not in session on Lunar New Year.
Lunar New Year is the first of a lunar calendar year whose months are moon cycles. The next Asian Lunar New Year will be on February 10, 2024. WhileCalifornia recognizes Lunar New Year as a state holiday and New York a school holiday, there is not a federal holiday honoring the Asian American tradition. U.S. Rep. Grace Meng, first vice chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, this year reintroduced a package of legislation to commemorate the holiday on a national level.
