Parade | 9th Annual Persian Day Parade


The 9th Annual Persian Parade is a celebration of the culture, traditions and contributions of the Persian people. The parade is a non-political, non-religious cultural event. Political figures and celebrities in support of the Persian people are expected to participate. Many from Persia's rich and diverse ethnic community will march, including Muslims, Jews, Zoroastrians, Baha'is, Kurds, Turkish and people of the Caspian Sea region. The emphasis is on the cultural influences of the Persians: one of the threads that unites this community and offers a reason to celebrate is the advent of "Nowruz", the Persian New Year.
