Join us for an exciting night of culture, tradition and celebration as the KAUST Chinese community, with the support of Community Life and Graduate Affairs, invites you the Lunar New Year celebration.
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a major cultural event celebrated in many Asian countries. The Lunar New Year is a time for families to come together, share meals, exchange gifts and honor their ancestors. Each year is associated with one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, and the year of the dragon is considered the most important.
