  • Khmer Dance Classes

    Our Khmer Dance Classes provide young Khmer individuals a chance to connect with their cultural heritage through dance. Learning Khmer dances helps strengthen relationships with parents and grandparents, bridging generational and cultural gaps. Classes are open to all in the community, encouraging youth from diverse backgrounds to participate.

  • Khmer New Year

    Khmer Maine works with its Temple partners to host a Khmer New Year festival in April. Khmer New Year is a major holiday in Cambodia, celebrating the end of harvest season. Farmers return home to relax and celebrate with relatives. While not solely religious, many engage in purification ceremonies, temple visits, parades, and traditional games. Unlike other Cambodian holidays that follow the lunar calendar, it is observed from April 14 to April 16 according to the Gregorian calendar.

  • Khmer Cultural Exchange

    From time to time, Khmer Maine collaborates with a diverse array of talented artists, creative authors, distinguished exhibitors, innovative filmmakers, and more, to thoughtfully showcase and educate the general public about the rich Khmer Arts and Culture, as well as its deep history, vibrant traditions, and much more.
