It's the next best thing to hopping a plane to Vietnam: The Tet Festival of Southern California (Hoi Tet Sinh Vien) is the world's largest lunar new year festival outside of Vietnam, attracting over 100,000 guests to the OC Fair & Event Center each year. Located in the heart of Orange County and just a short drive from Los Angeles or San Diego, this 36th annual edition of the Tet Festival (ushering in the Year of the Rooster) is packed with a vibrant array of traditional Vietnamese entertainment, yummy local dishes, cultural displays and festive games, plus a spectacular firecracker show to ring in the new year. So whether you're a Tet Fest vet or a newbie looking to add some culture to your 2017, there's plenty for the whole family to enjoy at this fun celebration of the first day of spring.
