This year with the perfect 70s' weather and the Maryland guests from Black Hills Park coming over, it was the busiest 13 bedar ever at Algonkian Park in Sterling, Virginia. A good time was had by all!

best 13bedar EVER

This 13bedar was the best!! 10,500 people came according to the Iranian newspaper. Good job to DJ Beshkan for putting this together. Same thing next year ;)

It is not part of the Iranian "culture" because Iranians (in Iran) generally look for Iranians and don't have any other "choices".

I think it is mostly the American part of our culture as Iranian-Americans and the general stereotypes of Iranian families about "good" girls and "loose" boys.

Anyway, they learn more later in their late 20s or 30s about Iranians being just as "regular" as themselves. I'm not sure there is anything we can do about it earlier.

I think 13 bedar is the only day young Iranian boys and girls in their teens and 20s notice each other.

The rest of the year they just ignore each other and stereotype as they gossip with their friends.

The rest of the year they think it is easier or somehow better to date a non-Iranian since they've already "figured them out" ;-)

Black Hills

Black hill park was still open and we had an amazing time.
No matter what park anyone was at- there was much false advertising saying black hills was closed- it wasn't just there was no DJ Beshkan.
