Chinese festival dates in 2036

Every festival that falls in this calendar year, with the lunar rule behind each date.

15 festivals fall in the 2036 calendar year. The first is Laba Festival on Saturday, 5 January 2036; the last is Winter Solstice on Sunday, 21 December 2036. Chinese New Year falls on 28 January 2036, and the lunar year that begins there is the Year of the Dragon.
