Nowruz celebrates the Persian New Year. What does the spring festival mean in North Texas?
March 19, 2023; Dallas Morning News
The start of spring brings many North Texas communities together, including for a festival called Nowruz, or the Persian New Year.
Nowruz, which coincides with the beginning of the season, falls on Monday this year. The 13-day celebration is meant to usher in new beginnings and to bring blessings, health and prosperity for the new year.
For Iranian Americans and others observing the festival, celebrating Nowruz is “an act of defiance” this year, said Homeira Hesami, chairwoman of the Iranian-American Community of North Texas. The Iranian government has attempted to scale back the festival in the past, Hesami said.
“We hope to see the next Nowruz in a free Iran,” she said, adding she hopes people remember those who have died fighting for their freedom in Iran under the current regime.
NOWRUZ IN DALLAS
The city of Dallas is home to one of the most diverse populations in the nation. Including one of the largest Persian American populations in the U.S. According to IACNT (Iranian-American Community of North Texas) the history of most Persians in the DFW metro and across the country ties to Iranian students during the late 1960s & 1970s. The Iranian revolution occurred during the 1970s forcing many Iranian students to seek residency and citizenship in their host countries (including the US, Australia, Canada, and parts of Africa).
