Join Bagche for a family-friendly celebration of Nowruz, the Persian New Year, and the arrival of spring. This open-house–style program invites families to drop in for hands-on crafts, a traditional Haft Seen display, music, and light refreshments. Come celebrate renewal, community, and the start of a new year together.
