Persian new year: central Asia celebrates Nowruz, the spring festival - Telegraph

For how many centuries has this gone on?

Newroz is an Iranic festival, not just Persian. Actually there's more Kurds celebrating it than Persians, and even this picture here is Kurdish.

The festival has been going on for about 26 centuries now.
