On February 15th, New England’s largest annual Vietnamese Lunar New Year festival, Tết in Boston, was hosted at the Mannino Convention and Exhibition center in South Boston. The festival showcased various traditional food stalls, cultural activities, live music, lion dances, martial arts, and raffles. As families and Boston community members gathered to celebrate the year of the horse, the festival became a way of empowering cultural identity.
