Last weekend I attended the Vietnamese Tet Festival in San Jose. Living in San Jose, I've seen posters, flyers, and discounted tickets at every restaurant I entered for a couple months now. The festival was at the fairgrounds in East Side, the same place they hold the Native American festival and pretty close to where I grew up. At Tet, there was a beautiful part that included lion dancing which I always associated with more Chinese culture. There was a variety of "game shows" in Vietnamese that reminded me of something I'd see on Asian or Latino cable. There was a lot of karaoke and numerous food stands. THEY HAD BAHN BO..coconut sauce and everything. I included a video that can better articulate the experience of the Tet festival.
