Milk Tea Drinking Contest (Feb 2nd 3:00-3:30pm)

Since its origins in 1982, the UVSA Tết Festival (Hội Tết Sinh Viên) is recognized as the nation’s largest Vietnamese Lunar New Year Festival. Formerly located at the OC Fair & Event Center, we have returned home to Garden Grove this year for the first time since 2013. With over 200 staff members and over 500 day-of volunteers, the UVSA Tết Festival brings together an international audience across a three day weekend to showcase Vietnamese culture, food, and entertainment. Over the past 42 years, the UVSA Tết Festival has significantly improved in many areas over time, such as better displays of Vietnamese culture and traditions, and increased collaborations with local community organizations. UVSA’s vision of hosting the Tết Festival is to create an avenue for everyone to have a better understanding of Vietnamese culture in many ways: vibrant arrays of traditional food, traditional performance and entertainment, and cultural exhibitions.
