Tirgan, the world’s largest celebration of Iranian art and culture, will be returning to Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre from July 18-21, 2013. In 2008 Tirgan drew upwards of 60,000 visitors, internationally and across Canada, and over 120,000 visitors attended Tirgan 2011. The highly anticipated Tirgan 2013 will provide a selection of over 70 features showcasing renowned performers in an array of artistic disciplines including: music, dance, theatre, cinema, literature and the visual arts in addition to workshops, organized activities, galleries, delicious food, and a traditional bazaar, all of which will capture the heart and imagination of both young and old alike.
Tirgan 2013 will offer a unique opportunity for children to enjoy arts and literature and participate in educational activities.
The festival offers something for everyone, from workshops and activities to performances in music, dance, theatre, cinema, literature and the visual arts. Tirgan is also a great opportunity to sample savory Iranian cuisine and a traditional bazaar, showcasing a range of items including arts and crafts, Persian literature, exotic sweets, spices, and even traditional musical instruments and much more.
The theme for Tirgan 2013 is Hope, for hope is that which sustains us in hard times and calls us into the future. We look forward to celebrating this year’s festival with you in Toronto, a city that rightfully prides itself in welcoming diversity.
