Mayor Cuc Lam
This Friday evening I will be welcoming the Year of the Dragon at the Quang Minh Tet Festival, celebrating the joyous occasion of Lunar New Year.
Officially starting on Saturday, the Lunar New Year holds profound cultural significance, marking a time of renewal, reflection, and unity.
In Vietnamese, we fondly refer to this time of the year as Tết.
As we gather with family and friends to take part in traditions and festivities, we can look forward to the opportunities the New Year brings.
Tết is more than a celebration; it is a testament to our shared heritage and the resilience that defines our community. In the face of challenges, we draw strength from our cultural roots, finding inspiration in the values passed down through generations.
This year, let us embrace the spirit of the dragon – a symbol of strength and good fortune – as we navigate the path ahead. May the Year of the Dragon bring prosperity, good health, and joy to each and every one of you.
Wishing you a Lunar New Year filled with joy, laughter and moments of reflection as we embrace the promise of a new beginning.
Happy new year and chúc mừng năm mới to all!
