| The Lao New Year celebration is based around the temple and the Buddist traditions. The celebration usually goes for three days around Mid April. Lao communities world wide celebrate this festival in a manner as close as possible to the migrated tradition. However, based on climate limitations in Australia at that time of year, certain activities during this festival can literally give you the chills! As i will explain ... SOON!!! |
