Cambodian New Year (or Khmer New Year), also known as Moha Sangkranta or just Sangkranta, is the traditional celebration of the solar new year in Cambodia. A three-day public holiday in Cambodia, the observance begins on New Year's Day, which usually falls on 13 April or 14 April, which is the end of the harvesting season, when farmers enjoy the fruits of their labor before the rainy season begins. Khmers living abroad usually choose to celebrate during a weekend rather than just specifically 13 April through 16 April.
