Dear John,
NIAC Action is thrilled to announce that we still have TWO more virtual Norooz events to ring in 1400, the new Persian New Year and a new century!
We’ve got an exciting lineup that includes a cooking demo with Chef Hoss Zaré, as well as an exciting afternoon of music and dance on Norooz as well as a discussion about the history of Norooz with Dr. Khodadad Rezakhani of Leiden University. You can even submit a photo or video of your Haft Seen as part of our Haft Seen competition at our grand finale Norooz, (you might even win a prize)! See more details below.
Events are open to NIAC members all across the country, so make sure to RSVP before spots run out.
I look forward to celebrating the onset of Norooz with you all!
Warmly,
Myriam Sabbaghi
Community Organizer, NIAC
