Learn About Nowruz Festival At Tysons Corner Center

The Nowruz Festival is the largest complimentary event for the Iranian-American community held at Tysons Corner Center outside of Bloomingdale's that celebrates the Persian New Year. It draws people from Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey and other countries who celebrate Nowruz as well as Americans who are interested in knowing more about Iranian culture, traditions, arts, crafts, and foods. The grand outdoor festival that celebrates the Persian New Year includes more than six hours of live performances, including music, dance, live characters, local artists, as well as a Nowruz Bazaar with dozens of booths selling a variety of Haft-Sin items and sprouts, Persian traditional sweets and pastries, crafts, and fresh and hot food. This event has been featured by local media every year and has been known as the Best Cultural Festival by The Washington City Paper two years in a row (2017 & 2018). Due to the evolving risk associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, this year’s Nowruz Festival at Tyson's Corner Center on March 15th is now officially canceled.
