Vietnam : New Year (Tet Nguyen Dan)

Event Image
When:  Jan 22, 2023 from 09:00 AM to 11:00 PM (UTC-11)
This is the most important holiday in Vietnam and begins the Vietnamese lunar year 4710 (The Year of the Dragon). Officially a three-day holiday, it is often celebrated for seven or more days. The days before the new year are spent cleaning and painting homes, paying off debts, resolving differences between family and friends, and preparing three days' worth of special foods for the celebration. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the head of the family performs a ceremony to welcome back ancestors for the New Year's celebrations. Midnight on New Year's Eve, known as Giao Thua, is the most sacred time since it is the passage from the old year to the new.
