New York Persian Parade

NY Persian Parade was established in the State of New York as a not-for-Profit organization in 2004. A group of Iranian philanthropists are recognized as the founders of the Persian Parade.

The mission of the Persian Parade is to promote celebration of the rich culture and prosperous heritage of Iranians. Its main celebration is the Nowruz Parade and Festival in New York City. Nowruz, the New Year, is celebrated in Iran as well as many other nations such as Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, etc.

The Organization is also to promote other traditional Iranian holidays such as Mehregan (the fall festival), Yalda (the winter celebration), and Chaharshanbeh Souri (last Wednesday eve of the Persian calendar).

The Organization is run by a group of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to bring the Nowruz festival and the Persian Parade to the streets of the City of New York.

Officers:

  • Ms. Floria Samii-Nikpour, President
  • Ms. Lili Moin, Vice President
  • Dr. Zohreh Rasouli, Treasurer
  • Dr. Rasoul Hashemi Nasab
  • Ms. Mehri Radfar, Secretary
Board of Trustees:
  • Mr. Masoud Morshed
  • Dr. Mahyar Nikpour
  • Mr. Kourosh Beyzavi
  • Ms. Atieh Taskindoust
  • Ms. Haleh Morshed
  • Ms. Zohreh Hashemi Nasab

Parade 2009 takes place at 11:00 AM on March 29, 2009 at Madison and 41 Street. At the end of the Parade, celebrations will continue at Madison Square Park with Persian food, music and dancing until 5:00 pm. The 2009 Parade is the result of collaboration between the New York Persian Parade, Inc. and Persian-Iranian Parade Foundation.

The 2009 Parade's Guest of Honor is Dr. Reza Moridi, Iranian-Canadian member of parliament in Ontario, Canada. An award-winning scientist, engineer, educator, business leader and community activist who has lived in Richmond Hill since 1991, Reza Moridi was first elected to the Ontario Legislative Assembly in 2007. Subsequently, he was appointed by Premier Dalton McGuinty as the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities. He was also appointed to the Cabinet Committee on Economy, Environment and Resources Policy. Prior to his election, Reza was the Vice-President and Chief Scientist of the Radiation Safety Institute of Canada. His 17 year career at this Institute provided him with a through understanding of the nuclear industry of Canada as well as the application of radiation and nuclear materials in a large variety of industry and health care sectors.
