Seattle Hmong New Year

Seattle Hmong New Year is a free Festál day marking the end of harvest season and the coming new year with traditional clothing, dance, food, visual arts, and ball-tossing (pov pob) competitions. Seattle Center schedules November 14, 2026, in the Armory with the Hmong Association of Washington.

It is one of the clearest late-fall AANHPI family festivals still ahead on the Seattle Center calendar after Diwali week. Free indoor admission helps when weather has turned.

Come ready to watch dance and clothing details with kids, and leave room to observe pov pob without treating it like a carnival game booth.
