Tirgan

Tirgan is a non-profit, non-religious and non-partisan cultural organization committed to promoting a cross-cultural dialogue between the Iranian-Canadians and the larger Canadian community through the production of year-round artistic and cultural activities including cultural festivals.
Our signature event is the Tirgan Festival, a biennial four-day summer festival coinciding with an ancient Persian celebration, usually held in July at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre. In addition to Tirgan, in 2017, we are planning the Nowruzgan Festival in March at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, celebrating the Canadian sesquicentennial and Nowruz (Persian New Year) at the same time.
