Also known as Theravada (Buddhist) New Year, Songkran is the three-day new year holiday traditionally celebrated in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. 🇹🇭🇰🇭🇱🇦🇲🇲AFG is thrilled to bring the cultural celebration of Songkran to Chattanooga, with our very first Songkran Festival! We’ll have live Thai and Laotian song and dance performances, including explanations of the meaning of each hand movement. 🎤🎹💃
We’re also honored to welcome three visiting Buddhist monks, who will share more about the holiday and provide blessings and sai sin (blessing string) bracelets for good luck and spiritual protection. 🕉️🪷✨
And if you’d like to join in on the water splashing fun (as seen in season 3 of The White Lotus!), we’ll have water blessed by the monks to wash away any bad luck and misfortunes! Water splashing is optional, and please bring a towel if you’d like to participate. ☺️💦
The store will be CLOSED all day (no in-store shopping), but we will provide free snack boxes and refreshments! 🫶🏼✨
