Mehregan Celebration

In our earnest endeavor to uphold our rich historical customs and traditions, we draw inspiration from the resilience of our ancestors. This enduring commitment has allowed our cherished traditions to persist for millennia.

"Mehregan," a paramount historical celebration among Iranians, stands as a testament to our cultural heritage, second in significance only to "Nowruz." Mehregan, often referred to as "The Persian Festival of Autumn," venerates "Mehr" or "Mithra/Mitra," the deity and emblem of light, camaraderie, love, and benevolence. In the Farsi language, "Mehr" translates to kindness.

We cordially extend an invitation to you to partake in this open-air celebration and join us in sharing our cultural heritage with members of the wider community, including those from non-Iranian backgrounds. This vibrant occasion will take place at the Foundation Wharf, located at 1675 Lower Water Street, Halifax, B3J 1S3, on October 15th, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Moreover, we invite individuals who are interested in contributing to the event in the following capacities:

- Participation in performing arts.
- Voluntary assistance across various facets of the celebration.

To express your interest, kindly contact us via email at: info@icsns.org.
