TET Parade in Little Saigon – FEBRUARY 9, 2008
By PhoViet • Jan 14th, 2008 • Category: Little Saigon Events, Little Saigon Feature
Lunar New Year is a widely celebrated international holiday. Two-Thousand-Eight (2008) marks the Year of the RAT on the Celestial Calendar, as well as the Annual TET Parade (TET means Lunar New Year in Vietnamese). This year the community is very enthusiastic about the TET parade, because it has not been continued for the last three years. Based on the previous years, this year TET Parade expects a participation of 6 counties (Orange, Los Angeles, Pomona, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego); featuring over 100 organizations which will participate in the parade. Southern California remains home of the largest population of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. In past year, over 50,000 spectators observed the parade.
The parade will take place on Saturday, February 9, 2008 from 9 AM to 1:00 PM. This year, the parade theme is: “UNITY & PROSPERITY”
