The Tết festival, also known as the Lunar New Year, is one of the most significant traditional festivals in Vietnam. It is celebrated by Vietnamese people all over the country and by Vietnamese communities around the world. Tết marks the beginning of the lunar calendar year and is typically held in late January or early February. The festival lasts for several days, with preparations starting weeks before. During Tết, families come together to pay respects to their ancestors, offer prayers, and enjoy special traditional dishes. The streets are adorned with vibrant decorations, and there are various cultural activities such as dragon dances, traditional music performances, and fireworks displays. Tết is a time for reflection, reunion, and renewal, as Vietnamese people bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new with hope and good fortune.
