作为“礼衣华夏”汉服模特大赛首次在北美设立的赛区，本次活动汇聚了来自北加州及湾区的汉服爱好者、模特、文化推广者与社区嘉宾，共同见证汉服之美，也见证中华传统服饰文化在海外社区中的传承与发展。

The 2026 “Li Yi Hua Xia” Hanfu Model Competition – Northern California Division, hosted by Sohu Video and organized by the Northern California Hanfu Association, was successfully held on August 30 at the Asian Art Center in San José, California.

As the first North American division of the “Li Yi Hua Xia” Hanfu Model Competition, the event brought together Hanfu enthusiasts, models, cultural advocates, community leaders, and guests from across Northern California and the Bay Area to celebrate the beauty of traditional Chinese attire and the living heritage of Chinese culture.

More than 20 contestants took the stage wearing Hanfu inspired by different historical periods and styles. Through their presentations and performances, they showcased not only the elegance of traditional Chinese clothing, but also the history, aesthetics, and cultural traditions embodied in Hanfu. More than 100 guests attended the event and cheered for the contestants.

The event also received special recognition from the local community and government. San José Mayor Matt Mahan proclaimed August 30 as “San José Hanfu Day,” recognizing the cultural significance of Hanfu and its role in promoting cultural exchange within the community.

The Northern California Hanfu Association was honored to organize and host this historic event. Through Hanfu, a cultural tradition with thousands of years of history, we hope to introduce the beauty and richness of traditional Chinese attire to a wider audience, while creating meaningful opportunities for the Chinese American community to celebrate and carry forward its cultural heritage.

Congratulations to all of the contestants, and our heartfelt thanks to Sohu Video, the Asian Art Center, government and community representatives, volunteers, staff members, and everyone who came to support the event.

This was more than a Hanfu competition—it was a celebration of culture, connection, and heritage.

We look forward to continuing to build bridges through Hanfu and sharing the beauty of traditional Chinese culture with communities near and far.

Hanfu enthusiasts gathered in elegant traditional attire, strolling among the blooming flowers and celebrating the arrival of spring while sharing the beauty of Chinese traditional culture.

The event featured a series of engaging performances, including graceful traditional dances and live Chinese folk music. A Tai Chi sword performance was also introduced this year, drawing the attention of many visitors and adding a dynamic highlight to the celebration.

Compared with last year, the event welcomed an even larger number of participants and visitors. Guests enjoyed walking through the gardens, appreciating the flowers, taking photos, and immersing themselves in the lively atmosphere of spring. Many visitors stopped to admire the exquisite Hanfu garments and showed great interest in learning more about the cultural traditions behind them.

The Huazhao Festival, also known as the “Birthday of Flowers,” is a traditional Chinese festival that symbolizes renewal and the flourishing of life. Through events like this, the Northern California Hanfu Association hopes to help more people experience and appreciate the richness of Chinese traditional culture while providing a space for Hanfu enthusiasts to connect and share their passion.

As the gentle spring breeze swept through the gardens, the celebration concluded in an atmosphere of joy and laughter, leaving wonderful memories for everyone who attended.
