Celebrating the Year of the Dragon: 2024 Lunar New Year Tet Festival

The vibrant colors, the lively music, and the joyful atmosphere — there’s nothing quite like the Lunar New Year Tet Festival to ring in the new year with a sense of excitement and celebration. This year, our Tao of Tomorrow had the pleasure of participating in the festivities at Mile Square Park in Garden Grove, CA, and it was an experience we’ll never forget.

For three unforgettable days, we immersed ourselves in the magic of the Lunar New Year Tet Festival. Our booth was a hub of activity, offering attendees a chance to join in the fun with carnival rides, games, raffles, and spin-the-wheel prizes. The photobooth was a huge hit, with people of all ages eagerly lining up to capture memories with friends and loved ones against a backdrop of festive decorations.

Amidst the festivities, we remained committed to our mission of promoting health and well-being in the community. As part of our outreach efforts, we provided free blood pressure screenings, giving attendees an opportunity to prioritize their health during this festive season. It was a pleasure to meet so many new faces and engage with the community in such a meaningful way.

None of this would have been possible without the support and collaboration of dedicated individuals like Vice Mayor NamQuan Nguyen of Westminster and all of our volunteers that showed up to support our cause. We are immensely grateful for his efforts in organizing this incredible opportunity for us to connect with the community and spread joy and goodwill during the Lunar New Year Tet Festival.

As we bid farewell to the Year of the Tiger and welcome the Year of the Dragon, we extend our warmest wishes for a year filled with prosperity, happiness, and good fortune to all. May this new year bring abundant blessings and opportunities for growth and renewal.6

The 2024 OC Lunar New Year Tet Festival was truly a celebration to remember. From the thrilling rides to the laughter-filled games and the meaningful connections made, it was a testament to the power of community and tradition in bringing people together. As we look ahead to the year ahead, let us carry the spirit of unity, joy, and generosity with us, ensuring that every day is a cause for celebration.
