The Middle Eastern Cultural Programs invite you to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year!

Nowruz is celebrated on the Spring equinox. It has been a day of great celebration throughout Iranian history; it is mankind's oldest known holiday and is still celebrated by more than 300 million people around the world. It celebrates the triumph of hope over despair and promotes values of peace and solidarity between generations and within families.

We invite you to join MECP in celebrating Nowruz on Sunday, March 6, 2022, from 7:00 to 10:00 PM. The event will feature live performances (Persian Dancing, live music, singing, poetry readings), as well as Persian food, a DJ, and dancing.

This event will be held in-person in the Student Union Ballroom (330/331).  This event will follow University COVID regulations.  Space is limited, so please reserve your spot.
