Karen New Year is celebrated on the First Day of Pyathoe on the Lunar calendar, which is generally the end of December or beginning of January. It marks the end of the harvest of one rice crop and the beginning of the next rice crop. Karen New Year is the largest celebration in the Karen community and is celebrated nationally throughout Burma.

Organized in collaboration by the Karen Culture Organization of Minnesota, the Karen Community of Minnesota, the Karen Organization of Minnesota, The Urban Village, KNYAW Visual Arts, and the Karen Buddhist Association of Minnesota.
