Nowruz 2025 Celebrate Navroz, a Fresh Start with Global Traditions

Navroz, also called Nowruz, is a happy and colorful festival that celebrates the Persian New Year and the start of spring. It happens every year on or around March 20, and in 2025, it will be extra special with exciting global events. This festival began over 3,000 years ago in Zoroastrianism, an old religion, and today it brings millions of people together across the world. UNESCO, a big global group, named Navroz an important part of human culture in 2009 because it spreads peace, friendship, and love for nature.

What is Navroz (Nowruz)?

Navroz means “new day” in Persian. It’s a festival that celebrates the Persian New Year and the first day of spring. This day usually falls on March 20 or 21, when day and night are equal, showing balance in life. For many, Nowruz is a time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome new hopes. It’s all about joy, family, and starting fresh.

Over time, it grew beyond religion and became a fun celebration for everyone, no matter their beliefs. Now, countries like Iran, India, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey celebrate it, each with their own special ways but with the same ideas of renewal and togetherness.
