About the Event

A full moon night with VISA UCR

Tết Trung Thu — the Mid-Autumn Festival — is one of the most beloved Vietnamese traditions. It's a time for gathering, sharing mooncakes, and admiring the full moon together.

Being far from home makes moments like these even more meaningful. VISA UCR hosts this event so every Vietnamese student at UCR can stay connected to their roots, even from halfway around the world.

The event is completely free and open to all UCR students — whether you're Vietnamese or simply curious about Vietnamese culture.
