The drumbeat starts low and slow and builds in tempo. Another drummer joins in, creating an intense beat that fills the room. Onstage, a giant, white lion with a fierce, dragonlike face surveys the audience, batting its eyes and nodding its head. Underneath the costume, the feet of two dancers move quickly and lightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all in celebration of Lunar New Year\u2014the holiday marking the beginning of the lunar calendar year, celebrated in cultures across Asia\u2014and people of all ages have come to watch this Lion Dance at The Fruit in downtown Durham. Towards the back of the crowd, a little girl sits on her father\u2019s shoulders for a better view.<\/span><\/p>\n

To the delight of those in the front, the lion makes its way off the stage and into the throng. Children rush to touch its head as it weaves its way through the room. As it dances out into the hall, the crowd eagerly follows.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the hallway, colorful pop-up shops dot the walls, where local vendors proudly display their handmade earrings, soaps and mandala coloring pages. Paper lanterns hang from the ceiling, painting the space a vibrant red. One shop sells red envelopes that, according to Chinese tradition, bring their recipients good luck in the new year. At another stall, shoppers choose among paper fortunes to slip into ceramic fortune cookies. Nearby, a table offers raffle tickets benefitting the nonprofit North Carolina Asian Americans Together, whose work includes voter education and internships and fellowships for Asian American youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Spanning five hours, the event includes singers, comedians, dancers, a drag queen and a traditional Korean fiddler. Comedian Bobo De Liscious appreciates the diversity of the crowd, something she says she\u2019s not used to in her usual gigs\u2014although she doesn\u2019t love going onstage after singer Kylie Robinson (\u201cThis is raw talent! We just come here to be clowns, and we have to follow this?\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside, crowds gather around food trucks boasting authentic Korean, Filipino and Lao cuisine. The lines are long, but Bobo says it\u2019s worth it. \u201cThe food is just \u2026\u201d she rolls her head back and slaps her hands together. \u201cI tell my friends, if you don\u2019t come for me, come for the food!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The event was put together by Triangle Pop-Up, which hosts weekly events that aim to connect artists and support local businesses. Sarah Moody started the business four years ago and has since built relationships with over 3,000 North Carolina vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Triangle Pop-Up\u2019s first Lunar New Year event took place last year at the suggestion of several Asian American vendors. Despite the pandemic, attendees came from as far as an hour away, Moody says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was actually very busy, although we were all masked up,\u201d Moody says. \u201cPeople were so excited about having this kind of event and this community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One of last year\u2019s attendees, Lisa Hyunh, became the main organizer of this year\u2019s Lunar New Year celebration, which has grown to include 25 vendors, plus performers and food trucks. Seeing her efforts come to life a year later is what she calls a \u201cfull circle moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vendors are excited by the large turnout. \u201cI think because, with everyone being cooped up in the pandemic, people are really into markets,\u201d says one vendor selling handmade macrame plant hangers. Nearby, Ritika Shamdasani shows event attendees her South Asian dresses, while Shailee Parikh hands would-be customers her Chinese-zodiac-themed candles to smell.<\/span><\/p>\n

While other Triangle area Lunar New Year celebrations focus on specific communities, such as Vietnamese or Korean, this event invites people from all Asian communities to participate. It\u2019s one of the largest local celebrations to do so, Bobo says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of people, they hear Lunar New Year, they associate it with Chinese New Year,\u201d says Bobo, who is Vietnamese. \u201cBut there\u2019s so many other cultures and other countries that actually celebrate Lunar New Year as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Moody hopes to make this an annual tradition\u2014and she\u2019s not the only one. \u201cNo doubt, next year they\u2019ll need a bigger space, which is a sign that it\u2019s successful,\u201d Bobo says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As she speaks, a group of college-age kids arrives at the door, Korean corn dogs in hand. They spot someone they know and are pulled in, laughing as they disappear into the excited hum of the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n
