In 2024, over 4,000 attendees came together for the two-day Eau Claire Hmong New Year celebration, showing the strength and excitement of our community even after a long pause since 2021. As we look ahead, the Eau Claire Hmong New Year Committee is committed to making this year’s celebration bigger and better than ever—with more cultural showcases, performances, competitions, and opportunities for connection.

By becoming a sponsor, your business or organization will not only gain visibility with thousands of attendees but also play a vital role in preserving tradition, fostering community pride, and creating a vibrant space where culture and celebration thrive.
