For many centuries, have marked the end of winter as the beginning of a New Year. Their celebration of this occasion, known as Norooz—literally “New Day”, in English—has served to renew the bonds that unite the families and communities that make up the Nation. The Norooz Gala is the premier celebration of the New Year and heritage, arts, and culture. The evening will include multiple uplifting and inspiring musical performances, both classical and contemporary. It will also offer ample time for mingling and celebrating Norooz with friends, new and old. Noor Pahlavi is a prominent member of the royal family, known for her heritage as the daughter of Reza Pahlavi, the last crown prince.
