Atlanta Persian Festival 2014

THE ATLANTA PERSIAN
FESTIVAL WILL BRING

 IRAN TO PIEDMONT PARK FOR ONE DAY

On April 5th
Piedmont Park will be filled with Persian music, art, history and of course,
the presence of Iranian restaurants for a taste of its delicious food.

The first Atlanta Persian Festival will bring this 5000-year old civilization
to Piedmont Park on April the 5th from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm   Expecting about 5000 visitors, it will
feature over 20 vendors showing everything from films to live concerts of
Persian pop music, as well as traditional music and dance with the goal of
promoting the Iranian culture among our Atlanta community, and to tell the
story about who Iranians really are. Admission is free and it will give the
general public the chance to enjoy the feeling of taking a tour of Iran, just by
walking through the park looking at paintings and screen images, tasting
delicious gourmet dishes and pastries, and listening to live sounds of Persian
music.

Iranians have become an integral part of the Atlanta community and the
festival will have a representation of Iranian professionals of every sector
offering a great opportunity for networking. Anyone interested in art will love
the Persian rugs, paintings and other objects brought in by local businessmen
who are eager to show the beauty of their home land. A free booklet with the
Festival’s program and different information about Iran and its culture will be
available for the general public.

The proceeds of the Festival will go to Georgia Tech to support the
Persian language program.  The organizers
are hoping this festival will become an annual event to support other community
cultural activities.
