We are excited to have an all-day event for the celebration of our Lao New Year and to commemorate our 50th Anniversary of Southeast Asian Refugee Resettlement. This year USLAA is hosting the LNY in collaboration with Siengkane Lao MN and The Lao Center (LACM). It will be a captivating and eventful day for all of our guests and community to celebrate together.
We would like to invite you and your guest to join us on Sunday, April 6th 2025 at the Minnetonka Community Center to celebrate the Lao New Year (Pii Mai Lao). It would be a great honor to have you all a part of the event.
There will be a religious ceremony, giving alms, scented water, Baci/su kwan and traditional Lao dance performances by our SKLM Dance Troupes.
This is a free event. Lunch will be provided. We will have several fun activities for the kids, trivia quizzes, & prizes to give away. Lastly wrap up with our Lao lum vong (“circle” dancing engagement) in celebration of our Lao New Year.
