This weekend, people are heading to City Heights to enjoy the 14th Annual San Diego Lunar New Year Tết Festival!
The big free event celebrates the Year of the Dragon. Food, fun, cultural displays and entertainment fill Officer Jeremy Henwood Memorial Park, just south of the City Heights/Weingart Library.
I visited the Tết Festival late this morning and watched several traditional dances, as you can see from my photographs. Various local groups performed on the main stage.
Some of the colorful dances were performed by the UCSD Chinese Dance Association. There were also student ballet dancers who are part of a San Diego Ballet education program in City Heights.
And, if that wasn’t exciting enough, there was a crowd-pleasing magician who levitated a young volunteer from the audience!
Tomorrow–Sunday–a full program of events is scheduled, including Vietnamese opera, the ever-popular lion dances, San Diego’s beloved Fern Street Circus, and much more!
This family-friendly festival will be running 11 am to 8 pm on Sunday, so, if you want to have a lot of fun, head over to City Heights!

There was a walkway to other vendors and activities for kids behind the T-mobile tent. Not sure if people noticed that. Great performances though!
