Tết in Seattle - Vietnamese Lunar New Year

Feel free to text Cliff at 415-525-2892 if you have any questions about the event or need help finding us. We're going to Seattle Center for Lunar New Year on Saturday, February 14 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. Here's what I'm thinking for our schedule.

• 2:00 Meet at the Tết In Seattle Info Booth at the Armory
• 2:15 See the VSAUW Moonlit Lotus at the Armory
• Wander around the Armory & Fisher Pavillion for an hour
• 3:20 Meet at Sterling Bridal at the Fisher Pavilion
• 3:30 See the Lion Dance at the Fisher Pavilion

Here's a map: https://www.tetinseattle.org/2026-vendors . In the Armory, the Tết In Seattle (TIS) Info Booth is next to A17 (Loan Factory) and across from A1 (Linh Nguyen Art Studio). Let's meet at the TIS Info Booth, see the Moonlit Lotus (5 min performance), and then walk around to see all the vendors -- together or separately. We can meet up again around 3:20 at the Fisher Pavilion Main Level at F21 (Sterling Bridal) for the Lion Dance.

I'm planning to be at the festival from 2:00 - 4:00. I may get there earlier. Feel free to arrive earlier or stay later. Please RSVP & text me when you get there! The festival is a two-day event on Saturday, February 14 and Sunday, February 15 from 11:00 am - 6:00 pm both days. The festival includes multiple Lion Dances, a fashion show on Sunday, art, music, and food. It's free & open to the public.

• "Tết in Seattle – Vietnamese Lunar New Year will take place February 14-15, 2026 at the Armory Food & Event Hall and Fisher Pavilion. The festival is part of the Seattle Center Festál series. It is free and open to the public."
• "This festival celebrates the cultural roots and traditions of Vietnamese Americans during the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. For two days, attendees gain a glimpse into the spirit and energy of Vietnam through arts, music, hands-on experiences, and performances unique to Vietnam. Additional features include offerings of traditional Vietnamese food, awe-inspiring lion dances, curated áo dài fashion show, and an all-inclusive health fair."
• "The colors, red and yellow, are seen to be extremely lucky; it is common to see these colors draped up and down the streets, and donned as apparel. The traditional Vietnamese dress, known as the ‘áo dài’, is a key feature of the Lunar New Year as it showcases the beauty of traditional Vietnamese fashion."
