Santana Row, in partnership with the Iranian Federated Women’s Club (IFWC)/Payvand, will proudly celebrate the arrival of fall (Fall Equinox) and the 2018 Persian Fall (Mehregan) on Wednesday, September 26, 2018 at Park Valencia, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the evening. There will be nationally-acclaimed Persian musicians and artistic performers free to the public. This event, commonly referred to as “MEHREGAN ,” is a fall festival of Persian origin, which has been celebrated for more than 3,000 years. It marks the first day of Fall. The festival of Mehregan is celebrated by many groups of people in the Middle East, and Central and South Asia, but particularly by Persians or various Iranian peoples.

This year we are featuring “The Tale of Mehregan”, adopted from the Shahnameh, famous epic poem by Ferdowsi (d. @ 1026AD), related how the popular Iranian Autumnal festival, Mehregan, came into existence, The tales follows the events and deeds of three of Iran’s most legendary kings, Jamshid, Zahhak, and Feridun. This story is being narrated through, dance, music, magic, poetry and story telling by local artists from Silicon Valley. I hope you can make it. There is no cost associated with this event; however if you register you will enter into a drawing to receive free prizes.
