Earlier this week, PARSA CF released its latest issue of “In the Spotlight,” highlighting the frontiers of Norooz. We also asked members of the Iranian community around the world to send us information on educational and cultural outreach-based Norooz events that were not covered in the article. People responded enthusiastically, and throughout the next two weeks, PARSA CF will feature additional Norooz events here.

On March 22 at City Art in Van Nuys, California, Nadereh Salarpour in cooperation with Radio Koodak will host a Norooz celebration for children. The event will feature a Norooz bazaar, Amoo Norooz, dance, magic show, puppet show, crafts and face painting. For more information, visit http://www.radiokoodak.com/.
