The Iranian New Year is traditionally celebrated on the vernal equinox, which was this Monday. San Francisco, though, always fashionably late, is throwing its Norooz party tonight at City Hall. Iranian-American Ross Mirkarimi is hosting the city's first annual Norooz party, along with Gavin Newsom and the local Iranian-American community.

In honor of the day, performers from the Nejad World Music Center and Ballet Afsaneh will perform. The festivities kick off at 6:15 in the City Hall Rotunda. Civic Center, we can't wait to see the pictures you'll get of the event!
