Visitor Info

Everything you need to know about your visit to Chaharshanbe Suri.

Let’s bring back Châhârshanbe Suri

Chaharshanbe Suri is a celebration of our communities, culture, and hope, dedicating to all the brave people in Iran, Afghanistan, and beyond. Our commitment to bring NYC the authentic, mesmorizing, and accessible experience will be possible thanks to donations from people like you.

  • We are still looking for the venue and will update the information once everything is finalized!

  • Our next celebration will take place on March 17, 2026.

  • Weather can get pretty cold with the wind so bring layered clothing to keep yourself warm.

    Avoid long-flowing fabrics, fringe, and fluffy gear. (Save that for dancing later on). The best clothes for fire jumping are body-fitting pants and tops of thick cotton or denim. Also, make sure you can LEAP in whatever you have on!

  • Make sure you stay behind the roped area and aren’t blocking anyone jumping.

    The safety volunteers can guide you to the best vantage points for taking pics.

    Please be respectful, careful, and intentional when photographing others jumping.

  • We will have vendors selling Persian goodies. Bring your own water container to stay hydrated.

  • More Gardens’ Chaharshanbe Suri 2026 is a free event. Register and simply turn up and enjoy free entertainment. The only thing you’ll need money for is food and drinks—the rest is on us!

    1. Take your time, or jump right in! You can always change your mind and step away at any time, even after you’ve already jumped.

    2. Bring a friend, you can jump holding hands too. 

    3. It’s good to watch others jumping so you can see how it’s done.

    4. Practice at home!

    5. Open your heart and set an intention. Allow courage, vulnerability, and love to guide you.

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.
