______________________________

With great consideration and a heavy heart, we want to inform you that we have made the difficult decision to postpone our “2025 Khmer New Year Festival” to our designated rain date, Saturday, May 3rd, 2025.

After closely monitoring multiple trusted weather sources and forecast applications, it has become clear that this Saturday, April 26th, 2025, will bring continuous rain throughout the day. Unfortunately, the wet weather presents significant challenges to our operations, from logistical complications to the risk of damage to our band and DJ equipment. In light of this, we believe that postponing the event is the most responsible and safest option for all involved.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. As much as we had hoped for clearer skies, Mother Nature had other plans, and that’s something we simply cannot control.

As previously noted on our event applications and flyers, May 3rd, 2025 has always been listed as our official rain date. While this decision has not been easy, we are hopeful that the extra time will allow us to deliver an even more vibrant and joyful celebration for our community. We sincerely hope you will still be able to join us on the new date.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support. We are truly grateful to have you as part of our Khmer New Year celebration, and we look forward to seeing you on May 3rd!
