Rejected petition Make Lunar New Year a UK Culture Day
I ask that the Parliament allow the Lunar New Year also known as Chinese New Year be designated as an annual culture day in the UK, with the date determined by the lunar calendar (falling between late January and mid-February each year).
More details
Lunar New Year is one of the most significant cultural celebrations celebrated by a quarter of the world population in China and worldwide, which recently listed as a floating holiday by the United Nations.
By making Lunar New Year a public culture day, it would further stimulate economic activity, and promote inclusivity, social cohesion, reflecting the UK’s commitment to embracing its diverse population. It will also strengthen UK’s reputation as a global leader in inclusivity.
