Happy New Year to all BIOS members celebrating Lunar New Year. In 2024, Lunar New Year’s day is on Saturday 10 February, starting the Year of the Dragon. The Lunar New Year celebration marks the first day of the year in a traditional lunisolar calendar, which is based on moon cycles and is why the Lunar New Year falls on a different date on the Gregorian calendar each year.
Lunar New Year is celebrated across parts of Asia. Each place that celebrates the festival has its own name for the occasion, with variations in traditions around the celebration.
