History & Significance
Chinese New Year, also called the Spring Festival, is the most important traditional holiday in Chinese culture. Its origins date back over 3,000 years. The celebration is based on the lunisolar Chinese calendar, so the date changes each year, typically falling between January 21 and February 20.
Chinese New Year: A US Federal Observance
Chinese New Year is recognized in the United States as a public observance. Federal holidays mean most government offices, banks, and the postal service are closed, and many schools and businesses follow suit — so the date affects mail delivery, paychecks, and stock-market trading days, not just celebrations.
When a federal holiday falls on a weekend it is typically observed on the nearest weekday, which can shift the long weekend earlier or later than expected. Counting down to Chinese New Year 2027 helps you confirm the actual observed date, plan a three-day weekend, and avoid scheduling appointments or shipments on a day when offices are closed.
