More Information:
Iranian Fire Festival (Chaharshanbe-Suri ) is the festival dating at least back to 1700 BCE of the early Zoroastrian era.
The festival of fire is a prelude to the ancient Nowrouz (Iranian New Year) festival, which marks the arrival of spring and revival of nature. Chaharshanbe-Suri is celebrated on the eve of last Wednesday of the Iranian year, literally the eve of 'Red Wednesday' or the eve of celebration.
Special programs will include Iranian music performances ranging in various styles including folkloric, pop, and electronic. Dance performances including styles from folkloric to contemporary, Iranian-themed kids zone, Iranian food that features a wide range of cuisine, incredible fireworks and much more.
