Tết New Year: a Celebration of Spring

Calendar/Event Details

The Lunar New Year celebrates the coming spring, from rain showers to spring flowers and everything in between! Come celebrate the beginning of the new season with the Trưng Vương Sisters Association, the Vietnamese Senior Association of Olympia & Vicinity, the East Tacoma Collaborative Community Leadership Team, the Salishan Association, and Harvest Pierce County.

There will be traditional food, Vietnamese Classical music, Southeast Asian lucky seeds to celebrate the coming growing season with Harvest Pierce County, and a lineup of musical and dance performers TBA.

You will also have the chance to participate in fun traditions, such as the distribution of Lucky Money (Lì-xì), feed the red and yellow dancing lions to scare away the bad and bring in the good, and Golden Bamboo walking group will lead all attendees in an interpretive dance that brings back springtime memories from their childhood in Vietnam. Finally, the mic will open up for karaoke!

Come celebrate! The event is FREE and family friendly, but if you take a plate of food donations are greatly appreciated (and it's extra extra lucky to donate during Tết).

This will be a wonderful way to celebrate the local season and Tacoma's unique Vietnamese community heritage. See you there!
