SUMMARY:Lunar New Year 2026
DESCRIPTION:Gung hay fat choy! February 17\, 2026 is the beginning of the Lunar New Year\, the year of the fire horse. The celebration of Lunar New Year holds deep cultural significance for Victoria’s historic Chinatown. Chinese Canadian pioneers brought many traditions with them when they began their new lives in Canada – including spending family time together and enjoying delicious foods during the Lunar New Year. As the most important holiday in many East Asian cultures\, the Lunar New Year provides an annual opportunity to reaffirm cultural identity\, honour ancestors\, and pass down cherished traditions to younger generations. Join us at the museum and pick up a lai see – a red envelope with a gold coin – symbolizing good fortune and prosperity in the year ahead\, and the welcoming of spring. Today is also the 4th anniversary of the founding of the Victoria Chinatown Museum – please help us celebrate.
