This is DePaul's 17th annual celebration of Lunar New Year. All DePaul students, faculty, staff, alumni, families and friends are welcome to join the community to ring in the new year of the Snake. The 2025 event will feature buffet dinner and cultural performances. Free and open to the public. RSVP is required.

Please wear something red to join the fun and for nice photos.

We will randomly pick 10 guests and give you a Year of the Snake souvenir after the cultural performances.
