The Tet Festival celebrates the Lunar New Year and is UVSA's primary fundraiser. An estimated 50,000 guests attend the festival to show their support to the 300+ unpaid staff, 500+ youth volunteers, and countless community organizations who contribute their time and effort to make the festival successful. At the event, guests can experience the Vietnamese cultural village, an area where a rural or historic village in Vietnam is replaced including structures, exhibits, artwork, and volunteers dressed in cultural attire. Other programs at the event include cultural competitions such as the Miss Vietnam of Southern California pageant, children's traditional pageant, and talent contest, eating competitions featuring cultural foods, and cultural performances. The event further UVSA's mission to promote culture and also serves as a vehicle to develop 250 young leaders in event coordination. When the event performs well financially, UVSA allocates up to half of the proceeds to the Tet Community Assistance Fund. Through this grant opportunity, other non-profit organizations in Southern California can apply to receive funding to their programs. Since 2002, UVSA has awarded over $1,500,000 in grants to non-profit organizations in Southern California.
