Sioux Falls celebrates Lunar New Year: 'The ultimate celebration of food, family and culture'

Lunar New Year was celebrated in Sioux Falls with Lion Dances, drumming and a Pho eating contest on Saturday night.

Lunar Fest, held at Active Generations, brought together the Asian community as well as parts of the wider Sioux Falls community, for Lunar New Year, which traditionally marks the Asian lunar calendar.

2022 is the year of the tiger.

"Lunar Fest is the ultimate celebration of food, family and culture," said Vince Danh, 30, who emceed Lunar Fest. "For so long in Sioux Falls, our community didn't really have anything we could call our own. So being able to organize it with the community, it's an event for the community by the community."
