Time: 9:00pm - 1:30am (Arrive early to catch all the entertainment)
Where: The Godfrey Hotel Rooftop (Hollywood)
Address: 1400 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90028.
Entrance: The entrance is located on De Longpre between Cahuenga Blvd, and Ivar Ave. Enter the elevator and go to the rooftop. Once you exit there will be signage and Persian music to guide you to the event.
Sliding Scale Tickets: We want to make sure everyone can join in the festivities, so if you are feeling an economic pinch, email us at Beyou@rahaintl.org for sliding scale rates.
Venue: This venue has both a covered and an open air space for our gathering. There will also be heat lamps in the outside area.
Traffic: It is Oscar Weekend in Hollywood, so there will be a lot of traffic in and around our venue. Leaving a few minutes early for the party will alleviate any traffic frustrations.
Parking: Ride sharing services are the most convenient way to reach the hotel. If you decide to drive, there are metered street parking, valet parking at the hotel for $15 (Mention you are here for the Persian New Year Event and confirm the price), public parking at 1400 Ivar Ave ($20 from 9pm to 2am) and public parking behind the venue starting at $15 and up.
Hotel Stay at the Godfrey: For our out of town guests, you can reserve rooms at the Godfrey for $179 per night, plus taxes and fees. To receive the quoted rate:
1. Call 323-762-1720. Follow the prompt to talk to the front desk.
2. Tell the representative you are looking for rooms blocked under “Nowruz“. You must mention the word “Nowruz” for them to pull up the rates.
3. The room blocks are only for March 8, 9, and 10.
4. Availability is limited, so ask the representative to check for each of the dates (March 8, 9, and 10).
Dress Code: Wear whatever makes you feel at your party best so you can light up Nowruz with us. There will be plenty of heat lamps and coverings, but it is a rooftop, so bring a jacket or coat just in case.
Entertainment: DJ Afra will be spinning all night long, and he is bringing his percussionist to add to the beats. We also have two drag performances for the night as well.
Food: We do have a free food station that will be serving sliders (with vegan option) and fries from about 10pm to 12 midnight. We will also have traditional Persian sweets for Nowruz.
Drinks: Cash Bar
