ST PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota has long been home to one of the largest Hmong populations in the U.S., with St. Paul considered the epicenter of this growing and vibrant community.
It is appropriate then, that the Capital City is once again host for the annual Minnesota Hmong New Year Celebration, which will take place at River Centre on Saturday, Nov. 30 and Sunday, Dec. 1.
Members of the Hmong community and those who are interested in learning more about it will enjoy food, music, games and activities while honoring their cultural roots and contributions to life in Minnesota.
The United Hmong Family Inc. Executive Director Khou Yang and Marketing Coordinator Maycee Vang visited KARE 11 News at Noon to talk about the 44th Minnesota Hmong New Year and what it means to their community.
