We just finished Persian New Year and the Cambodian and Thai New Year is almost upon us. With the largest Cambodian population outside of Cambodia, Long Beach is the place to celebrate Cambodian New Year. Thai New Year celebrations take place in Hollywood, North Hollywood and Pasadena. Although the official New Year dates are April 13-16, celebrations are spread over multiple weekends from April 1 to April 21, 2012. Click the links below for the full event lists.

We went to the Sangkran festivals in LA this year and had a wonderful time. Thank you Kayte, for posting about it as it was not well promoted and I may have missed it if it were not for your postings.
Thank you Kayte for update Khmer new year event every year. We love Khmer New Year in Long Beach and we will go again this year.
