Lunar New Year Celebration

SOM celebrates Lunar New Year! Join us for an evening filled with food from Chef Jiang, international snacks, and activities dedicated to the new year. This event is hosted in collaboration with the Asian, Asian American, Pacific Islander Association, Korea Club, and Greater China Club. 

Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. 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, those celebrating consider it the time of the year to reunite with immediate and extended family.
