Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the Lunar New Year, especially by people outside China. It is an important holiday in East Asia. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival.

I’m Chinese and the festival’s always been a big thing among the Chinese community here in Atlanta! Thanks for posting these pictures though — I can’t wait until I get a chance to go back for the holidays!
