Pictures of Vietnamese New Year Celebrations in Canada
By Phan Dam
Here is a lovely set of photographs of the Ontario Canadian Vietnamese community's Tet celebrations, in 2004. These representative photos provide a glimpse of the Vietnamese New Year celebrations in North America, for those who might not have the opportunity to particpate. Examples of familiar Tet symbols and events, including lovely flowers, food, dances, music, decorations, and ceremonies, are beautifully illustrated.
Many of the local chapters of the US/Canadian Families with Children from Vietnam attend their local Vietnamese associations' Tet celebrations each year. The Ontario Families with Children of Vietnam participated here, even presenting a program on stage in Vietnamese!
Stage decorations for Vietnamese New Year in Canada include candles, incense, blossoms, and Vietnamese map (with the dragon representing Vietnam).
