Jashne Aghaze Tabestan commemorates triumph of knowledge over ignorance, light and goodness over evil and darkness, the birth of sun and joy. Traditional celebration of Jashne Aghaze Tabestan involves getting together with family and friends, lighting a big bonfire outdoors, singing and dancing around the fire and sharing food. Traditionally families bring firewood or dry tree branches for the bonfire. Jashne Aghaze Tabestan is celebration of life, happiness, family values, friendship, love and kindness. Jashne Aghaze Tabestan is a community celebration.

Solstice celebrations were a highlight of the ancient Iranian calendar and in many countries bonfires, maypole dances and courtship rituals linger on as holdovers from ancient Iran's past.
