Cambodian New Year, also known as Choul Chnam Thmey, is one of the most important and festive holidays in Cambodian culture. It’s a time to reflect on the past year, honor traditions, and welcome blessings for the year ahead. The celebrations span three days, each with unique customs.

Wat Buddhasasanarangsey, founded by the Fresno Cambodian Buddhist Society, Inc., is a beacon of faith and culture. Established by Cambodian refugees, the temple became a sanctuary for healing and preserving traditions.

With its stunning Cambodian-inspired architecture and community events, the temple offers meditation, teachings, and youth programs bridging generations and keeps Cambodian heritage alive.
