At the Tea House, volunteers provided delicious Persian black tea (Sadaf Earl Grey) and sweets (shirini from Aria Bakery).
The day was filled with dance and music, including a fantastic performance by Karavans Dance Troupe.
This was a fun event and I look forward to next year's Iranian Festival! Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
