It's time to say goodbye to the Year of the Dragon and welcome the Year of the Snake. The Year of the Dragon begins on January 29th 2025. The Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, celebrates the start of the new year on the lunar calendar. There are many local celebrations in and around Olney and Rockville to help bring forth luck and prosperity in the upcoming year.
