About this Holiday
Lunar New Year Eve Eve was officially added to Taiwan's list of statutory public holidays in 2026, extending the Spring Festival holiday by one day. Falling on the penultimate day of the 12th lunar month, families begin year-end house cleaning, stock up on festive goods, and prepare traditional New Year dishes. Temples fill with worshippers and night markets buzz with holiday energy as Taiwan winds down for one of its most beloved annual celebrations.
