Our Inspiration:

In Persian culture, we celebrate the longest night of winter, known as Yalda, a tradition deeply rooted in the belief that even the longest night will be conquered by the lights, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. We're delighted to bring a taste of Iran to our event, adding a hint of Persian culture to our Holiday Bazaar. You'll find Iranian art, Iranian food, Iranian pastries, and even Iranian ice cream for you to purchase and bring home. This cultural touch is inspired by the profound meaning of Yalda, which holds a special place in Iranian traditions. By choosing to shop at the Holiday Bazaar, you not only support these women but also immerse yourself in the rich traditions of Persian culture."

Looking forward to see you all
