The Yalda festival is a legacy from our ancient culture; from a time when our ancestors were celebrating the rebirth of the goddess of light and the victory of Ahura over Ahriman in the longest night of the year. It is still a symbol of perdition of darkness and a significant festival in our culture. As a beautiful tradition all Iranians get together with their families and friends and celebrate Yalda night with wide variety of joyful activities.

As with the past years, Society of Iranian Graduate Students at UC Irvine (SIGS) cordially invites you to an unforgettable night of joy and happiness to celebrate Yalda. We'll serve food, wine and refreshments. And there will be cultural performances and of course music and dance.
