Since 1996, Tết in Seattle has celebrated the culture of Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Americans in the Pacific Northwest through art, food, music, and traditions. 2023 is the 27th annual festival and the Year of the Cat. There will be special-live performances, lion dances, local food vendors, art-exhibits, fashion show, hands-on activities for the kids, and family-oriented events for all to enjoy. In addition, there will be headline singers and an annual health fair that offers free screenings (blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) and other services.
