Chinese New Year is a holiday in which people honor household and heavenly deities as well as their ancestors. In today’s culture, many Chinese and more and more non-Chinese individuals see the holiday as a time for the family to celebrate and expand their cultural horizons.
 
The Year of the Pig celebration will run all through February at The Shops at Columbus Circle. Bowing to lucky numbers and omens, visitors that spend $88 or more and share their receipt with the Guest Services desk will receive a free branded red notebook that may contain a gift card ranging from $10 up to $1,000. Featured retailer products and promotions include but are not limited to, Eileen Fisher, MAC, Hugo Boss, Satya, Sugarfina and Williams Sonoma.

And for that special “social’ moment, capture and share The Year Of The Pig with a photo at the topiary pig located on the ground floor.
