Every spring for the last 3,000 years, Persians have welcomed in the Persian New Year by celebrating family, community, food, music and dance.
In 2019, co-founders Lawdan Shojaee and Shideh Doerr wanted to bring Persian New Year to Arizona. They set out to create a festival for the Persian community to both celebrate and share their traditions with their family, friends and neighbors. The festival has since received promotions from major television networks, radio stations, print publications and community & event websites. The fourth annual Scottsdale Persian New Year Festival will be held at the beautiful Scottsdale Waterfront. We can't wait to see you there! |
