If Navroz is the Persian equivalent of Easter, Chaharshanbeh Souri, in many ways is the equivalent of Halloween. The event is celebrated on the eve of Navroz.
Chahar-Shanbeh means Wednesday and Souri means both 'Red' and 'Celebration'. In this “red celebration” which takes place on the last Wednesday of the solar calendar, people go out and make bush fires and keep them burning till the next morning. This is symbolic of burning all that was bad pain, unhappiness, sickness and worry and looking forward to a new beginning.(hotel iran)
Tirgan is celebrated by people in the Mazandaran province on the evening of the twelfth day of the fourth month of their own calendar.

People come together to eat traditional Iranian food, drink lots of sherbets and tea and participate in drama, reciting poetry and singing (Tehran Hotel)
