Bahá’í Naw-Rúz, or Bahá’í New Year, is one of 11 holy days celebrated by Bahá’ís each year and falls on or near March 21, which is the vernal equinox and the traditional Persian New Year. The Bahá’í year 181 BE runs from March 20, 2024 to March 20, 2025, so Bahá’í Naw-Rúz will be on March 19, 2025. Bahá’í holy days are often observed with community gatherings that include programs appropriate for the day’s significance.
