Sister Cities of Chattanooga Members,
Please join us as we celebrate the Persian Nowruz!

Presented by Chattanooga Sister Cities and the Chattanooga Persian community, we invite you to the 2025 Chattanooga Persian Nowruz (New Year) Celebration!  This festivity will occur Saturday March 29, 2025, at the Bessie Smith Celebration Hall.

The Persian Nowruz occurs each year on the first day of spring, celebrating the rebirth of nature. This is the largest cultural event for Persians, and it is celebrated in a number of countries, including Iran and Afghanistan.

The community is invited to celebrate, and tickets include a Persian dinner, a special presentation, and a dance party. Alcohol may be available and sold separately. Parking on site is free, and street parking is free after 6pm.

Tickets are on sale for Sister Cities and the Persian community. Be sure to get your tickets now before they open to the public.

Tickets are $50 each and $35 for children 4-18 (children under 4 are free).
 
We hope you can join us for this festive occasion.
