APCC invites our community to come together to celebrate the 4th Annual Khmer New Year — a vibrant, family-friendly event honoring Cambodian heritage, tradition, and joy.

Khmer New Year is one of the most important cultural celebrations in Cambodia, marking renewal, gratitude and togetherness. This year’s event brings those traditions to life with a dynamic lineup of activities for all ages. Guests can explore cultural arts and crafts, participate in traditional games, and enjoy meaningful ceremonies such as the Sand Dune (Poun Dei Ksach) ritual and karma cleansing, symbolizing fresh beginnings for the year ahead.
