Lowell, Massachusetts, located north-west of Boston, is home to a diverse population from many different backgrounds and ethnicities, such as Southeast Asians, Africans, and Hispanics. The city has been the gateway to immigrants and refugees for a very long time, dating from the 1800s till the present.

Lowell is known for being the residence of one of the largest Cambodian populations, representing around 25% of the overall Lowell population.^[1]. This leads to many Cambodian holidays being celebrated in the city, along with many cultural programs offered to the public as an attempt to preserve and celebrate their culture.
