CASC invites you to the Ariana TV Spring Festival

The warm weather is well upon us and we're looking forward to re-connecting with CASC Members at the Ariana TV Spring Festival! The Festival will take place on May 31 from 10 am to 8:00 pm at Fraser Forsure Park, Burnaby.

We will have a live Afghani music as well as volleyball, chess, kite running competitions.

Beside the all those interesting programs, there will be a ``Samanak Mila``.

Samank is a sweet paste made from germinated wheat , which is prepared for Nowruz -the first day of the solare calendar, in a large kazan . Traditionally, women take a special party for it during the night, and cook it from late in the evening till the daylight, singing related songs. In Tajikistan and Afghanistan they sing: Samanak dar J?sh u m? Kafcha zan?m - D?gar?n dar Khw?b u m? Dafcha zan?m. (meaning: "Samanak is boiling and we are clapping, others are asleep and we are playing daf"). In modern times, making sumanak can be a family gathering. For our event it`s would be as a symbol of community gathering.

The festival is organized by Ariana TV- Vancouver.
