Largest Nowruz, Iranian New Year Celebration by Farhang Foundation at UCLA on Mar. 10
Farhang Foundation's festival welcomes spring with its 14th Annual Celebration of Nowruz in Los Angeles. The daylong program is suitable for all ages and includes traditional music, arts and crafts, dance, food, children's activities, stilt walkers, and the signature Grand Haft Sîn display.
Nowruz, or “new day,” is an ancient celebration of the vernal equinox—a universal time of rebirth and renewal. Today, Nowruz is joyously celebrated by over 98 million people worldwide, with festivities spanning across diverse regions such as Iran, Afghanistan, Armenia, China, Georgia, the U.S., India, Tajikistan, and Turkey, among many others. It is the most colorful and lively Iranian event of the year. Picture horns blaring, dancers twirling, bright silk garments, and exciting storytelling.
All of the Nowruz outdoor activities are free and open to the public from 12 to 5 p.m., and will take place in Dickson Court, which is adjacent to Royce Hall.
Additionally, a special ticketed event takes place at UCLA's iconic Royce Hall at 6 p.m. This unforgettable evening concert is presented in collaboration with UCLA's Herb Albert School of Music. The Nowruz Concert will feature world-renowned musicians, many of whom are flying in from around the world for this event. FEATURING: Sahar Boroujerdi, Hila Plitmann and THE IRANSHAHR ORCHESTRA, Music Director, Shahab Paranj. With music composed by Richard Danielpour, Aftab Darvishi, David Garner, Ahmad Pejman and Reza Vali.
