This ancient tradition brings together a vibrant tapestry of cultures, from Iran to Afghanistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and beyond. This gathering honors the traditions of the Persian diaspora with poetry readings of Rumi and Hafiz, storytelling, music, and a performance by the renowned Dr. Farima Berenji. Come together to celebrate the changing seasons and the return of light after the longest day of the year.
