For generations, families and friends have gathered on this special night to celebrate togetherness, share stories and poetry, enjoy traditional foods and fruits such as pomegranates and watermelons, and welcome the return of longer days.

Rooted in ancient Persian traditions, Yalda symbolises the victory of light over darkness, hope over hardship, and the warmth of human connection during the longest night of the year.

Join us for a special evening of Persian music and cultural celebration as we share the beauty, poetry and spirit of this ancient tradition.
