The Lunar New Year is an important holiday in many East Asian nations, including China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Some Indianapolis residents from those countries brought their traditions here.

This video shows how some ushered in the Lunar New Year early on Saturday, Jan. 27, at Indy’s Global Village.
