Welcome to the Cambodian Community Day (CCD) website. We appreciate your visit. The CCD seeks to integrate the Cambodian culture into American society. We, the CCD planning committee, are committed to making the CCD successful and fun for all communities to experience, enjoy, and remember the Cambodian culture. We strive to advocate, promote and ultimately bring the awareness of the invaluable and distinctive Cambodian cultures to the next highest level.

The CCD operates exclusively on a voluntarily basis. We are a group of enthusiastic people sharing common interest in promoting Cambodian Culture and Heritage. Its primary purpose is to organize the Cambodian Community Day yearly festival. It does not receive any grant from any government agencies. For several years, the CCD festival has been made possible by sponsorship of the Arlington County, the City of Alexandria, many Cambodian organizations. The county and the city only give the committee manpower, logistics, and in-kind services. To help defray some costs, small funds are raised from public, businesses, foods, arts & crafts vending concession and fee. The CCD festival is open to everybody and to any organizations. If your organization would like to participate in the festival, please contact Sophia Tep at 571-218-9513 or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

CCD is gearing up to provide the experiences about the Cambodian culture to children. If you are the parent of adopted Cambodian child, this is one of a lifetime event that you do not want to miss.
