The event welcomed 400 attendees from across the Portland Metro region. Youth participated in traditional Karen dance, strengthening cultural knowledge and pride in their Karen identity. For the first time, OKA hosted competitions as part of the celebration. A youth drawing competition invited participants to create artwork representing pride in being Karen; four youth participated, and winners were selected through community voting by event attendees. An adult poetry competition focused on Karen identity and cultural heritage included two participants. Two Karen elders served as judges, reinforcing intergenerational leadership and cultural values. Overall, the event fostered artistic expression, strengthened community bonds, and affirmed the importance of the Karen New Year as a vital cultural tradition.$5,000$4,168
