The big Ayyám-i-Há bash is nigh! Join us to celebrate the days outside of time with food, games, music, magic, and presentations from our area children's classes and youth groups.

Ayyám-i-Há is a yearly festival in the Bahá'í calendar, which runs from February 26 to March 2 each year, during which Bahá'ís are enjoined "to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name." The Bahá'ís in the Gorge have had an annual Ayyám-i-Há party for many years, and the public is invited to join us in celebrating this special time.
