On January 29th there’ll be celebrations in Stormwind, Thunder Bluff, Booty Bay and Moonglade. And on February 13th, one last firework show will be held in Moonglade which will parallel the Chinese "Festival of Lanterns"; extra lanterns are spawned around Lake Elune'ara.

Omen's appearance is closely liked to the Lunar New Year and new players will be excited to hear that this will be the only raid encounter where newbies will be able to participate fighting a raid style boss! Omen is inspired by the tale of "Nian" from Chinese lore. In the Chinese version of WoW the boss' name will be left as Nian.
