A Celebration of Spring and Renewal: Southwestern USA Welcomes Navroz (Nowruz)
16 March 2024

On Sunday, March 3rd, The Water Works Buffalo Bayou Park was transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors and joyous sounds as the Ismaili Council for the Southwestern USA hosted the third annual Navroz Spring Festival. Navroz, often referred to as Nowruz, holds profound cultural significance for communities across the globe. Originating in ancient Persia, the celebration marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Persian solar year. Its roots originate from agrarian customs, symbolizing renewal, rebirth, and the promise of a new dawn.
