TEHRAN – Rasht Cultural Nights will be held at the foot of Milad Tower in Tehran on September 23 and 24 to turn the spotlight on the rich history, traditions and charms of the northern city.

Sales exhibits and workshops on indigenous handicrafts, souvenirs, garments, as well as live performances of traditional music and games are on the agenda for the event that also includes a photo exhibit of natural sceneries and cultural heritage of the city. 

Besides being a cultural center, Rasht is generally known for its beauty, lush landscapes, rice paddies and parks. The Caspian Sea coastal city is the capital of Gilan province as well.

Visitors to Rasht, dominated by domestic holidaymakers, experience much wetter and milder climate there that is all and all far different from that of southern and central parts of the country.
