 We have read with interest how the Center for Lao Studies is promoting the first International Lao New Year Festival 2552 in San Francisco April 10. We live in Sacramento, about 90 miles east of San Francisco and plan to go on Saturday. It looks like they will have vendors, and we will be evaluating whether we should exhibit next year. Celebrating Lao New Year in the states is so different from celebrating Lao New Year in Laos. As anyone who has lived in Laos knows, Lao New Year really extends for a week or more and it can be a pretty wild and wet time. Here in Sacramento we have two wats, and the one we live closest to is rather small and low key and so we are eager to see and experience Lao New Year on a larger scale in San Franciso, and hopefully see that the festivities will draw a lot of falang who should learn more about Lao traditions and culture. We've already committed to exhibiting at the Asian Heritage Street Celebration in San Francisco on May 16 and if anyone wants to come and see our textiles and handicrafts in person, we encourage you to come for this well-planned event. We exhibited four years ago, before establishment of our online store, and are really excited to be able to talk with people about our textiles and goals for the future. We will include more information about the AHSC in a future post. by: Laos Essential Artistry
