Help Us Make 2025 2026 Burn Brightly!
Thank you for your continued support in bringing this free magical fire jumping event to New York City for over 20 years! Thanks to you and many new participants, the number of visitors from near and far has increased tremendously, so much so that our community garden locations need to be expanded to a larger park venue!
This means significant expenses! And… this is New York City! We know the funds are out there! Please help us reach out to small and large funders to make Tuesday March 17th, 2026, our treasured year for Fire Jumping, Fire Performances, Community Theater, Live Music, Food, Fire Arts, and Culture for you, the Iranian Diaspora, and beyond!
If you are and/or know anyone who can support with large donations of $10,000 and more, please email me at aresh@moregardens.org or call 917-518-9987.

More Gardens!
More Gardens’ Chaharshanbe Suri NYC is a local festival from West and Central Asia. It is rooted in community, sharing, equity, and reverence for the earth through ritual fire jumping.
This celebration nourishes our spirits, strengthens our connection to each other, and affirms our belonging by embracing our diverse nationalities, languages, faiths, classes, genders, races, and sexual identities. We make gathering joyful through art, music, food, culture, and intergenerational sharing.
We hold each other to tend the flames of love, justice, solidarity, and goodness across the planet and right here in the community green spaces of NYC.

More Gardens Fund sits on unceded Indigenous land, specifically the homeland of the Lenape peoples. We acknowledge the genocide and continued displacement of Indigenous peoples during the colonial era and beyond. The island of Mannahatta in Lenapehoking has long been a gathering place for Indigenous people to trade and maintain kinship ties. Today, these communities continue to contribute to the life of this city and to celebrate their heritage, practice traditions, and care for the land and waterways as sacred.
We acknowledge today’s Lenape communities include Lenape people of the Delaware Nation and Delaware Tribe of Indians in Oklahoma; the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin; the Munsee-Delaware Nation, Moravian of the Thames First Nation, and Delaware of Six Nations in Ontario.
