Tet 2024 - (February 10th, 2024) Tet 2024, or the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, is coming up on Saturday, February 10th, 2024. The most anticipated event in the Vietnamese calendar promises to welcome the Year of the Dragon with vibrancy and grandeur. Tet marks a time of renewal, family reunions, and community spirit. It is a cultural extravaganza that embodies Vietnam’s rich traditions and heartwarming customs.
But Tet 2024 isn’t just a day; it’s an entire season of anticipation and joy. Spanning several days of preparation and celebration, Tet kicks off with Tet Eve on February 9th and extends through the holiday week until February 14th. This offers plenty of opportunities for locals and visitors alike to join in the festive fun. You’ll know when Tet has arrived: Vietnam’s bustling streets are suddenly awash with red and gold – colours considered lucky – while its air fills with cheerfulness (of people) and fragrance (of flowers).
For industry professionals and agents looking to experience Vietnamese culture at its most vibrant, Tet presents an unmissable chance. This is when Vietnam’s heritage takes centre stage alongside hospitality. From traditional Tet dishes prepared with love to be shared among loved ones, to flower markets brimming with life as families select their decorations, there will be no shortage of experiences to choose from.
But beyond surface-level festivity lie deep-rooted beliefs steeped in customs observed during Tet. These practices give insight into how Vietnam views its past and future. For example; giving out lucky money (Lì xì) in red envelopes or meticulously preparing holiday delicacies each hold profound meaning.
Tet also has a zodiacal significance that will hold special promise this year: the dragon is one of twelve animals represented in the Vietnamese zodiac cycle. Regarded as the most auspicious symbol, it represents power, nobility, and prosperity. Celebrations are expected to be more spectacular than ever in 2024, with the energy of the dragon coursing through Tet’s veins.
