Mehregan - Sunday, October 2, 2022
Returning after a two-year absence, our Mehregan gala will take place Sunday, October 2, in the magnificent Persian garden at Untermyer Gardens from 5:00–9:00 p.m. and feature sumptuous Persian food, music, and dancing. Celebrated photographer Firooz Zahedi will be honored, and the incomparable Iranian singing star Sattar will perform. Cocktails beneath the winged sphinxes will be followed by a lavish Persian dinner served in a spacious open tent in the garden. Sattar and his band will perform favorite Persian popular and classical songs. Guests will enjoy dancing and dessert in the beautifully restored Temple of the Sky. Committee members and their guests may also enjoy a half-hour, docent-led garden tour at 4:00 or 4:30 p.m. The gala is co-chaired by Diana Elghanayan, Nazee Moininan, Katy Palizban, and Nassrin Iromloo Zahedi. Your support of the event will help the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy sustain the finest Persian garden in the Western Hemisphere.
