Join us for a vibrant celebration of Myanmar’s rich traditions! Experience the excitement of the Water Festival, marking the Burmese New Year, along with cultural performances, dances, music, and traditional activities from Myanmar’s diverse communities.
In light of the recent devastating earthquake in Myanmar, we take a moment to acknowledge the hardship and loss experienced by many. While we continue with this celebration of Myanmar’s heritage, we do so with hearts that hold both joy and solidarity for those affected. This event is an opportunity to come together in community, appreciation, and support.
