New Years All Year Round Exhibit at Wing Luke

New Year celebrations occur at different times throughout the year. Yearly calendars can differ from culture to culture—many are based on the moon and the sun. Traditions are kept alive by diasporic communities in our new environments, but they also evolve with each new generation. Come learn about our communities’ favorite New Year memories and traditions at New Years All Year Round in the KidPLACE Gallery.

The Lunar New Year beginning in February of 2026 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac. The Zodiac and its variants are based on an ancient story of The Great Race. Twelve animals raced to create the order of the zodiac’s twelve-year cycle. The horse finished in sixth place after the snake. Nina Vichaypai is our featured Zodiac animal artist. Check out Nina’s art installation and get in the spirit of the horse!
