About UsTet in Vietnamese means New Year. It is a time for celebration, for getting together with family and friends and renewing our ties with one another. It is also a time for games, fun and showing off any tricks you might have learn throughout the year, music and songs, magic tricks or sports moves. Tet Factor is a spin off the from popular TV Series first created in 2001. Neil Ta thought it would be a great idea to use a similar concept to unite the community by giving them an opportunity to display and share their talents during the New Year celebration. 15 years later the first Tet Factor was produced for the Vietnamese Community Association of Victoria, Australia. Spanning across 2 days (16-17 of January 2016) the first Tet Factor attract over 150 participants from all walks of life. In 2017, by popular request, we brought our show to 3 more lunar new year festivals: Footscray, St Albans and Richmond. With approximately 200 performers in each location, our show ran the entire 12 hour duration of the festival with no breaks in between. In Richmond we had to install an second stage to cater for all the acts. some of the activities included:
In 2018, we continued to deliver as many activities as we could manage in Footscray. And for the first time ever Springvale had a second stage and we made the most of it by providing fun and enjoyable activities for all festival goers. These activities include:
In 2021, we continued to build bridges across cultures and ethnic group by delivering fun and meaningful activities during the Tet Festivals across Melbourne. In 2022, we were hospiced by the Victoria Street Business Association. Our participants had the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of a relatively large crowd in line with Covid restrictions. In 2023 we will be hosted by the Vietnamese Community Association of Victoria. This year's theme will focus on supporting young talents from all ethnic backgrounds. In 2024, once again, we will be hosted by the Vietnamese Community Association of Victoria, just as in the previous year. This time, we will be on the main stage at Footscray Park. |
