Experience a Vietnamese cultural celebration

A parade to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4, in the area near City College and recently known as Little Saigon, a Vietnamese community on the corner of Florin Road and Stockton Boulevard.

While the Vietnamese New Year, or Tet in Vietnamese, was observed on Jan. 23, the year of 2012 is special according to City College counselor and instructor Dinh Bui, who will be co-hosting the event.

“[The parade is an] expression of strength as we’re celebrating the Year of the Dragon,” Bui says.

Bui says that Tet is important for the Vietnamese people to show good will between friends and family while anticipating  a prosperous new year.  During the parade, Bui expects the Sacramento Vietnamese community to relax, enjoy the entertainment, and pay respects to friends, ancestors, neighbors and relatives.

The Vietnamese community and businesses in Little Saigon where the parade is being held will receive attention from highway drivers, as a sign saying “Welcome to Little Saigon” will be installed on Highway 99.

“Personally, I’m very excited because I was the first elected Little Saigon Committee Chair assigned by the community to advocate for this creation [of the sign] through Sacramento City Council,” says Bui. “I like to maintain the connection with the community and to contribute my efforts to its well-being whenever I can.”
