This Little Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year

Not even the big bad wolf will keep the 2007 Year of the Pig away from the largest Chinatown in North America as the historic neighborhood invites families and revelers to celebrate Year 4704-4705 on the Chinese lunar calendar. Also known as Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival, Lunar New Year is a two-week celebration that begins on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar — a period that typically falls between late January and mid-February— and ends on the full moon 15 days later. This year, Lunar New Year is Sunday, February 18, 2007. It is considered a major holiday across the globe, and is celebrated by many Ross Global Academy families and in Asian countries worldwide. During Lunar New Year, revelers celebrate family and the rejuvenation of the earth and, with it, the start of a new beginning with endless possibilities. FREE EVENTS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
