The ‘Brookland Arts Walk’ commemorated the Zoroastrian summer festival – Tirgan, with its first Annual Tirgan Market on 8th July, 2023, as a community-wide event celebrating the summer season with local artists, food and live music. Located in the heart of the Brookland neighbourhood in Washington DC, the Brookland Arts Walk hosts special events and festivals through the year.
Tirgan – the fourth ancient Persian festival of seasons – the others being Norooz (Spring); Yalda (Winter) and Mehregan (Autumn) – is historically dedicated to ushering in a healthy harvest and warding off drought. It is traditionally celebrated by dancing, splashing water, reciting poetry, and consuming delicious foods, like spinach soup and saffron rice pudding or sholezard.
It is a time to come together and honour Mother Nature and the summer season. The Tirgan Market turned out to be the perfect venue for Persians to connect with their community and celebrate the occasion through diverse local art and culture. The event featured thrilling live performances by Brooklyn-based sibling duo – Sarah and Ehsan Khatami; the taleted multi-instrumentalist – Kamyar Arsani; and scintillating dance performances by Yekta Kamali.
