Make a Donation to Norooz in Pasadena

Norooz in Pasadena is a celebration of the Persian New Year brought to Pasadena through the vision of Dr. Nazanin Rofagha.  The mission or Norooz Pasadena is to familiarize non-Iranian communities of Pasadena and the greater San Gabriel Valley with the rich and ancient culture of Iran.  The word “Norooz” means new day and refers to a new beginning, a new year.  Filled with persian food, traditional music and dance performances, the 3,000 year-old celebration marks the beginning of spring in the Iranian calendar.  The 2010 Norooz celebration will be held Thursday, March 11, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, 150 N. Madison Avenue, in Pasadena.
