ISA presents NC State's Second Shabe Yalda Celebration. Shabe Yalda is an Iranian cultural celebration of the longest night of the year, which marks the beginning of winter. It is a tradition amongst Iranians that family and friends gather together and stay up throughout the night, eating fruits, nuts, etc. Since Shabe Yalda is the longest and darkest night, it has come to symbolize many things in both Persian poetry and culture, such as separation from a loved one, loneliness, and waiting. After Shabe Yalda, however, a transformation takes place -- the waiting is over, light shines and goodness prevails, which is a turning point as the days start to grow longer.
Please join us in celebrating this traditional night alongside your family and friends. The night features dinner, live music and dance, cultural exhibitions, live performances, and much more.
