CCAF: CELEBRATE NAVRUZ IN CAMBRIDGE 2026

Cambridge Central Asian Forum is delighted to invite you to the annual celebration of the Navroz Spring Festival.

Navroz is the Persian word for New Year and it marks the coming of spring in the countries of Europe’s eastern boundaries and all way across to the Pacific. Navroz transcends religious, ethnic, linguistic, and national divisions and brings the people of Eurasia together. It showcases the region’s rich tradition and mythology for the world to experience. Above all else it is an occasion for celebration. The cultural programme this year focuses on music and dance from the Central Asia and Caucasus region.

Entry is free of charge but advance booking is required. Complete this form to mark your attendance.
