Tirgan Festival Details
Tirgan produces year-round arts and cultural activities including festivals with music, dance, theatre, cinema, literature and visual arts featuring internationally and locally acclaimed artists and performers that represent an Iranian cultural heritage. It includes works of various ethnic groups in Iran and is also part of the diverse cultural mosaic of Canadian society as a non-profit, non-religious and non-partisan cultural organization committed to promoting a cross-cultural dialogue between Iranian-Canadians and the global community at large. Our signature event is the Tirgan Festival, a biennial four-day summer festival coinciding with an ancient Persian celebration, usually held in July at the Toronto's Harbourfront Centre. It is currently the world's largest celebration of Iranian arts and culture as well as the fruition of the contributions from over 300 volunteers, numerous public supporters, individual donors and corporate sponsors. In addition to Tirgan in 2017, there is the Nowruzgan Festival in March at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, celebrating the Canadian sesquicentennial and Nowruz (Persian New Year) at the same time.
