"To dispel some fears related to the vaccine, a local organization called Open Eyes Beyond Border worked with the senior association, along with multiple other organizations, in late March to hold a COVID-19 vaccine information session, where medical professionals from the Austin area answered questions in Vietnamese.
Well-established groups within the local Vietnamese community, such as the Vietnamese American Community of Austin Texas, or VACAT, helped sponsor the information session. The event also got support from nonprofits that work outside the Vietnamese community. " - Austin American Statesmen

We would like to update you that, amidst 5 months of planning anticipation, VACAT has decided to postpone—not cancel—our Lunar New Year (Tet) Festival. As you may know, the Austin Public Health Department presently classifies the city’s COVID status as Stage 5. Therefore, for the safety of the public and our volunteers, we think it is wise to postpone our special event until later in the Spring. We sincerely hope, pending how the next few months go, to simply reschedule Tet for March or April. Of course, postponing does not diminish our enthusiasm for this event, the event’s ability to be successful, or how much we value your continued support.
Some may wonder if holding Tet a few months later would still hold the same value. While it is atypical to postpone Tet, we are also living in atypical times, given COVID. And, much like our resilient Vietnamese history attests in both Vietnam and the United States, we have always found creative ways to preserve and promote our cultural traditions.
Please stay tuned for a forthcoming update from VACAT by the end of February or March, as it is still possible we might be able to hold this special event. We thank you for your continued support.
VACAT Thanks our 2022 Sponsors for their generosity. Our next upcoming event is our In-Person Tet Festival on February 5th, 2022.
Thank you to Loan Factory, Lien Phat Pages, Amerigroup, Community Care, Austin Elite Realty, Full Tax Services, Pho Please, Emerson, Charles Maund Toyota, Pho Phong Lu’u, and the City of Austin Cultural Arts Division.
We will be hosting Tet this year on Saturday February 5th at The Holy Family Catholic School Pavilion. We will have cultural programing, celebrations, dragon dance, an ao dai fashion show, a live band, trivia and Vietnamese and carnival games, li -xi, raffles for a 60 inch TV, food vendors and so much more! We can’t wait to see you there!

After canceling all of our cultural events last year due to COVID-19, we were so happy to have come back and celebrated with a socially distanced outdoor event. This was opened to everyone in the greater Austin area to come celebrate and learn about Vietnamese culture. We celebrated Tet Trung Thu with live music and performances, vendors, fundraisers, and free balloons, light up lanterns and glowsticks. We appreciate everyone for coming out and staying masked. Special Thanks to our sponsors and partners.

Rất mong quý vị điền phiếu Dân Số, có như vậy mình mới lấy tiền trợ cấp nhiều cho tiểu bang.
Từ đó, tiểu bang chi cho thành phố, thành phố lại chi cho cộng đồng chúng ta. Tiền mình đóng thuế, mình phải lấy về cho thành phố mở rộng trường học, đường xá cho mình hưởng thụ. Người già và trẻ em
được hưởng nhiều nhất. Cộng Đồng cũng được hưởng lây vì có tiếng nói mạnh hơn nếu đại diện cho nhiều người Việt.
