Today is our 2023 Vietnamese Lunar New Year
celebration here at New Holly, also known as Tết, it’s the year of the cat.
So we are super excited to have this opportunity to connect
and celebrate the New Year with our amazing community leaders.

It's just wonderful.
One of the great things about our city is the diversity of culture.
We're so glad that the Vietnamese community stays strong and proud in our
in our city, and we're just so happy to be here in New Holly in South Seattle
and to celebrate with all of them.

Even though Vietnamese and Chinese share the same Lunar New Year,
the Chinese celebrate Year of the Rabbit
and Vietnamese, we celebrate the Year of the Cat.
Regardless, is still a happy New Year to us.
