The Cambodian People lost our Khmer New Year on April 17, 1975. Since then being Khmer or Cambodian meant we needed to be following or learning from others because we had lost everything.
On April 18, 2020 we are making history with a virtual Khmer New Year. We will not let Covid-19 cancel or postpone our 2500+ years of culture and celebration.
This year our theme will be: Stay Home. Stay Safe. Stay Inspired! Cambodians from all over the world can meet all their favorite stars via a LIVE FACEBOOK broadcast starting 10AM ( CST ) ’til 10PM ( CST ).
