Tết Trung Thu, or the Mid-Autumn Children’s Festival, is a time for celebrating the young children in our lives. In Vietnam, we celebrate this holiday by leading a parade of children holding lồng đèn, or lanterns, in honor of what is believed to be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year.
This year, the Vietnamese community and the Tết Trung Thu Organizing Committee is proud to present our Tết Trung Thu 2017 festival. Please join us in celebrating our Vietnamese heritage and most importantly, our youth!
This year’s FREE ADMISSION festival features cultural performances, contests for drawing, lantern making, and acting, and lion dances, as well as a FREE LANTERN for every child in attendance!
