Visitors can take part in the festival exploring culture, one of the oldest in the world, while also embracing the first day of spring—that universal time of renewal and rebirth. Celebrated on the vernal equinox in Iran, Afghanistan, China, the U.S., India, Tajikistan, Turkey, and beyond, Nowruz (“new day”), is welcomed with vibrant displays of culture by more than 75 million people around the world. The event is nonreligious and universal to all by celebrating the arrival of spring.
