Tết & the Vietnamese Lunar Calendar
When Tết, Trung Thu and the festivals of the lunar year land on the Western calendar — worked out from the calendar itself, so the dates stay right for years.
The festivals that follow the Vietnamese lunar calendar land on a different Western-calendar date each year. This works those dates out from the lunar calendar itself, so they stay right for years — Tết and the days that shape the year in Little Saigon.

The most important holiday of the year — the lunisolar New Year. Families reunite, honor their ancestors, and welcome the new year over the first several days. In Little Saigon it is marked by the City of Westminster Tết Parade on Bolsa Avenue and the UVSA Tết Festival.
The date below is New Year's Day itself (mùng 1). The parade and the festivals are scheduled on the nearest convenient weekends, so their dates fall a few days off and change each year — check the official links below.
