Legislation signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul makes Asian Lunar New Year a public school holiday across New York state, giving students a new day off from school.
It’s celebrated by several cultures around the world, but in Chinese culture, the Lunar New Year is a staple.
“This is such an important holiday,” said Wei Qin, president of the Chinese Community Center in Latham. “The most important holiday in Asian countries.”
With the first new moon on the lunar calendar marking a new year.

This is a floating holiday since the lunar new year is not always the same date. This year Feb 10 and in 2025 Jan 28. I wonder what happens if it falls during regent week!!!!!!!
