Tet in Viet Nam starts with the first new moon, usually in late January or early February. The
celebrations usually last for three days. The Vietnamese celebrate Tet with family gatherings,
wonderful foods and lion dances. Let's take a look at some of the traditions linked to Tet, the most
popular festival in Viet Nam.
Red is a bright, happy colour that keeps away bad spirits. That's why people decorate their
homes with red and yellow to bring good luck for the next year. Also, parents and grandparents give
children special lucky money in red envelopes. One thing people avoid during Tet is sweeping the

house. Before Tet, the Vietnamese clean their houses to clear out any bad luck from the previous year.
People finish cleaning before New Year's Day because they believe you'll brush away your good luck
if you sweep the house during Tet.
Traditionally, people travel back to their hometowns to celebrate Tet with their family. During
