All about H.I.N.Y. Foundation

Since the arrival of Hmong people America in 1975, the Hmong New Year Celebration has become a part of the American culture. Of all such events, the celebration in Fresno remains the largest of its kind.

Hmong International New Year is a non-profit organization founded to preserve Hmong cultural heritage, to promote collaboration and understanding among Hmong and other groups, and to build bridges with the international community.

Community
The spirit of cooperation is reflected in how the New Year celebration event is organized and conducted. Since the beginning, the event has been organized and operated mainly by volunteers.
Volunteers from organizations and from the community coordinate the event to minimize operational costs to insure that the event remains truly a community centric event. The spirit of volunteer-ism, of cooperation, and of community involvement, contribute to the success of the New Year Celebration in Fresno each year.

Preserving culture, language and heritage.
