We welcome everyone to this free, wheel-chair accessible and family friendly outdoor event.

Sizdah Bedar

Sizdah Be-dar is celebrated on the thirteenth day of Nowruz, the Iranian New Year. It is celebrated by leaving houses to join nature, and spending the day outdoors.

A fun family day to picnic and enjoy the great outdoors.  Lots of wonderful food, music and dancing and PoCo Heritage Trees was pleased to be a part of the festivities.  Our volunteers helped make pipe cleaner bees, cherry blossom art and demonstrated how to plant sunflowers, peas and beans so kids could take them home and watch them grow.
