In 2034, Chinese New Year falls on a Sunday.
Chinese New Year 2034 falls on Sunday, February 19, 2034. That is a Sunday, which means it lands on a weekend. It is the 50th day of 2034 and sits in ISO week 7. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.
Falling on a Sunday, Chinese New Year overlaps a normal weekend. Where it is a public holiday, the observed day off is often moved to the following Monday under substitute-day rules.

Chinese New Year, also called Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, marks the first day of the traditional Chinese lunisolar year. It is widely observed across Chinese communities and many parts of East and Southeast Asia, with traditions including reunion meals, red envelopes, decorations, temple visits, fireworks, and family travel. The date falls between 21 January and 20 February in the Gregorian calendar and is associated with one of the twelve zodiac animals. Cultural practices differ by region and diaspora community. timekit uses the date already present in its religious holidays calendar, computed by the site's Chinese lunisolar calendar engine, rather than recalculating the festival here.
