VSAM 2024 TẾT SHOW

VSAM’s Tết Show is a student-run event celebrating Tết Nguyên Đán (also known as Tết), the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. Tết celebrates and signifies the beginning of the new year and the arrival of spring. This upcoming New Year, concludes the end of the Year of the Cat (Mão) and brings in the Year of the Dragon (Rồng).

The theme for this year’s Tết Show, Once Upon A Time, translates to Ngày Xửa Ngày Xưa and symbolizes the beginning of a story, but also a recollection of the past and the magic of our imaginations.

At VSAM’s Tết Show, we strive to showcase this beautiful tradition to the greater community through the hard work of the students here at UMN, other colleges, and recent graduates. Exuberant performances include Skit, live singing performances, Traditional and Modern Dances, Traditional and Modern Fashion, and the Lion Dance (Múa lân). In addition, we distribute red envelopes (Lì xì) which symbolize good wishes and luck for the new year ahead.

With over 40 years of history, VSAM’s Tết Show has garnered attention and prestige within the Vietnamese community throughout Minnesota and the Midwest. This year, we are excited to have over 150+ volunteers spread across 8 amazing committees: Fashion, Finance, Hospitality, Logistics, Modern Dance, Multimedia & Marketing, Performance & Skit, and Traditional Dance. With the amazing work and visions set forth by these 8 committees, our mission to provide opportunities for greater expression of the Vietnamese culture, student leadership development and growth, and community engagement continues to flourish year by year.
