This annual community gathering marks new year celebrations for a handful of Southeast Asian cultures—Moha Songkran for Cambodians, Pii Mai for Laotians, Songkran (meaning "passage of time" in Sanskrit) for Thai people, and Thingyan for Burmese people all share many cross-cultural similarities and usually fall around mid-April, per the ancient Hindu calendar. The timing "marks the end of the harvest season, when farmers enjoy the fruits of their labor before the monsoon season." Join in on the festivities, which will include plenty of food, performances, sports activities, and more.
