Approximately 1.5 billion people across the globe are gearing up to celebrate one of the biggest holidays in East Asian cultures remotely, a far cry from the typical crowd-gathering festivities that usually accompany this day. Lunar New Year 2021 has arrived and the traditional forms of celebration are not as feasible with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In Orange County, all three major Tet festivals have been canceled: the Little Saigon Westminster Tet Parade, the Little Saigon Tet Parade in Garden Grove, and the UVSA Tet Festival at the OC Fairgrounds. Organizers for all three events are hoping to bring back live festivities next year.

Casa Familiar celebrated Dia de los Reyes, or Three Kings Day, with a drive-thru food and book distribution in San Ysidro on Monday. Casa Familiar normally serves rosca de reyes cake and hot chocolate to the families of San Ysidro on Dia de los Reyes. This year they had to be creative and made it drive-thru celebration. The book they distributed was Beatriz Zamora’s The Spirit of Chicano Park/El Espiritu de Chicano Park, a book about the stories and people of Chicano Park. This event is the first of two monthly food distributions Casa Familiar will be holding. They will continue to provide these distributions until the summer.
