​Come join us for a magical Tết celebration filled with food, drinks, performances, music, crafts, and games to ring in the Year of the Snake! Hosted by the Vietnamese Creative Society (VCS) and mavalabs (an experimental art & entertainment studio), this will be an exciting event full of creativity, joy, and comfort.
