The 31st Annual
Vietnamese New Year
2013 Year of the Snake
2013 is Year of the Snake and it will arrive on February 4, 2013 Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen because it means your family will not starve. This could be taken metaphorically to mean that a Snake could never have a problem with his family starving because he is such a great mediator, making him good at business. Any way it is interpreted is representative of the Snake's character and is a measure of the value he puts on his material wealth. The Snake is keen and cunning, quite intelligent and wise.

TẾT is the Vietnamese New Year celebrated at the same time with the Chinese New Year around late January or early February every year. TẾT is the most important holiday in the Vietnamese culture, as important as Christmas and the New Year altogether to the Americans.
THE ANNUAL TẾT FESTIVAL IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA is the biggest annual event hosted by the Coalition of Nationalist Vietnamese Organizations of Northern California (CONVONCA) to promote Vietnamese culture and preserve traditional customs among over 300,000 Vietnamese residents of California. With the attendance of 40,000 to 70,000 people, the TẾT Festival in Northern California really deserves to be
"The largest Vietnamese New Year TẾT Festival Overseas."
At the TẾT Festival, our guests and visitors will have the opportunity: to taste special Vietnamese foods, to watch or participate in original activities and games, which are normally played by the Vietnamese during TẾT, games and rides from American Travel Shows, Music and Performances, 6 Exhibition- centers, Shows, Contests: Martial Arts Tournament, Volley ball Tournament, Table Tennis Tournament, Talent Shows, Miss TẾT Pageant, Circus, Firecrackers and much, much more, have chances to interact with members of the local Vietnamese community, in terms of information exchange, friendship building and business development.
