Nowruz Celebration (Persian New Year)

Welcome to our Nowruz celebration, marking the Persian New Year with traditional dance, live music, and delicious regional cuisine! Nowruz, meaning "New Day", is a joyous festival welcoming spring, renewal, and togetherness. It's been celebrated for centuries by many cultures across the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, South Asia, and the Balkans. Our festival will feature live performances by Iranian and Kyrgyz artists. Does your culture also celebrate Nowruz? You will have a chance to represent it at our open mic!

Delicious catered lunch will be provided!
