Lunar New Year is celebrated by many communities and countries under different names and traditions. This page treats it as a broad cultural category rather than a single national festival.
Instagram announced in December 2025 that posts and Reels can use up to 5 hashtags. Because product rollouts and public documentation can change, confirm the current in-app behaviour before publishing. Pick the 5 that describe the post most precisely.

Editorial guidance
Lunar New Year is celebrated across many communities and countries under different names and traditions; avoid treating one country’s customs as universal.
Use the New Year tradition, food, family gathering or local celebration shown; add country or city context when it helps distinguish the community represented.
Editor’s note: Lunar New Year is culturally diverse. This page favours specific, descriptive tags over a one-size-fits-all celebration list.
