42nd Annual UVSA Tết Festival celebrating 10 years at OC Fair & Event Center

The Perfect Union

Long Vân Hội Ngộ

As spring approaches, families and loved ones come together under and embrace the warmth of each other’s presence. UVSA Tết Festival wishes you and your family and loved ones a peaceful and prosperous year full of warmth and wellness.

The Year of the Dragon marks the 10th annual year anniversary that UVSA Tết Festival has been hosted at OC Fair & Event Center.

This year, UVSA Tết Festival proudly presents our theme, Long Vân Hội Ngộ, which depicts the story and idea of the dragon and the clouds meeting. Their meeting symbolizes luck, prosperity, and our biggest hopes and dreams coming to life. UVSA Tết Festival hopes that not only will families come together and celebrate the holiday together, but much like how the fish meets the water and the dragon meets the clouds, we will also meet one another in this space.

Our final greetings and wishes for you all.

Have a prosperous spring, and may all your four seasons flourish
May your year be filled with wealth and good fortune
