Feb. 12 is Lunar New Year, a celebration that marks the first new moon of the lunisolar calendars traditional to many east Asian countries – including China, South Korea, and Vietnam. With the Year of the Ox kicking off Friday, Denver is one of hundreds of cities around the world celebrating the event. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has curtailed a lot of the festivities that usually surround a Lunar New Year, The Asian Chamber of Commerce in Denver hopes to provide socially distant options for those interested in enjoying it.
The ACC is an organization that provides economic development and business opportunities for its members. Chairman Travis A. Tom and President Fran Campbell spoke to Nuggets.com about the organization and how it has adjusted around COVID-19 as well as how it plans to highlight the Lunar New Year.
