***2025 Festival Update***
Dear Beloved Community Members,
With heartfelt sincerity, we want to share that we’ve made the very difficult decision to postpone our “2025 Khmer New Year Festival” to our designated rain date Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 which looks more promising.
After carefully watching the weather and consulting multiple trusted forecasts, it’s clear that this coming Saturday, April 26th, will be met with steady rainfall. Unfortunately, the expected conditions would not only make the day uncomfortable, but also pose challenges to the setup, safety, and overall enjoyment of the event we’ve worked so hard to prepare.
We know how much this festival means to so many of you and it’s more than just a celebration, it’s a time to reconnect, honor traditions, and create joyful memories together. Postponing it is not a decision we take lightly, but we believe it’s the best choice to ensure we can come together safely and fully enjoy everything this beautiful day has to offer.
Thank you for being part of our community. We can’t wait to celebrate with you on May 3rd 2025. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
With gratitude
-The Kakrona Center Team
