Nyob Zoo Xyoo Tshiab. A community celebration built to be free — every year, for everyone.
Fresno Unified filmed our December 2025 celebration at Yosemite. Press play, or open it on Vimeo.
Filmed and hosted by Fresno Unified School District.
Hosted at Yosemite Middle School with the Asian Heritage Club & Hmong Club. Live performances, Hmong dance, food and art vendors, pov pob ball toss, face paint, a community raffle, and a fashion show to close it out.
Every year, local businesses, families, and community members donate gifts for our raffle. We do not sell tickets and we do not keep a cent — every prize goes straight back out to the people who showed up.
Local businesses and families give prizes because they believe in what this day is for.
No tickets, no cost. Everyone at the celebration has a shot at winning.
Every donated gift is raffled off to the community, right there at the event.
It started at Terronez Middle School in 2022 and moved with me to Yosemite. Same purpose every year.

Hmong New Year is the biggest celebration of our year. But for a lot of families in Fresno, getting to one means tickets, parking, and a drive across town.
So we bring it to the neighborhood. We open the campus, bring out Hmong artists and dance groups to perform, and make it free — every single year. No admission, no ticket booth, nobody turned away.
Students see their culture celebrated where they go to class. Families see each other. Small businesses get a room full of customers. That is the whole point.
Every year it brings Hmong artists, dance groups, and small businesses onto one campus, and opens the doors to everyone at no cost. No admission. No ticket booth. Nobody turned away.
Our kids deserve to see their culture treated like it matters. Our families deserve a place to gather that costs them nothing. Our vendors deserve a room full of neighbors.
That is what this celebration is for, and that is why it keeps coming back.
