Lunar New Year may have been yesterday, but celebrations ringing in the Year of the Dog are just getting started around the Bay Area.

This weekend, the San Jose Tet Festival at the Eastridge Mall celebrates the Vietnamese New Year.

"The Tet festival is the most significant holiday in our culture," said event organizer Tony Saemai. "It’s the equivalent of Christmas in America, in the sense that it’s time for family friends and loved ones."
