Details: Chaharshanbe Suri Festival of Fire at an open and accessible NYC location such as Battery Park. Date: Tuesday, March 18th, 2025 More Gardens! has celebrated Chaharshanbe Suri fire festival at the onset of Spring Equinox at community gardens of NYC since 1998 as we defended the wholesale destruction of the community gardens during the Giuliani administration. Over the past two decades of our fire festival being held at NYC community gardens, we’ve together brought hundreds of Iranians and members of the Persian diaspora joined by community gardeners and the public. This traditional Persian Spring celebration highlights joyful and inclusive Middle Eastern American culture with traditional music, food, and dance, bringing New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds together in a spirit of cultural celebration. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Middle Eastern American community to celebrate and welcome all others into the joys of Persian culture.
