This year's events include:
- The Return of the Cultural Show (a 90 minute presentation including discussions on Nourooz, speakers from San Diego groups such as AIAP and PCC, and classical dancing provided by PCC).
- At 9pm doors reopen for the huge, all out fun, 18+ Party (college id required, and one guest per id)
