Many people got a jump on things on Friday at the Greenfield Healthy Active Living Center.
That's where they gathered to celebrate the Asian culture.
"It's for the same reason we celebrate New Year for ourselves, to ring in good fortune, to get your family and friends together, share things that you learned and done throughout the year, and to kind of commemorate and celebrate the culture that we do have here," said Thomas Horam the Director of the Greenfield Healthy Active Living Center.
Friday was an annual tradition that takes place in Greenfield.
