The L.A. Conservancy is hosting a Special Tour & Events Exploring Irangeles. Los Angeles is home to the largest concentration of Iranians in the United States. Rich in religious and ethnic diversity, Iranian and ‘Persian’ heritage is not bound by national borders but by cultural identity and tradition. To find out more about their planned activities to learn more about Iranian history, heritage, and experience in Los Angeles, see their website on Irangeles: Exploring Iranian Presence and Permeance in Los Angeles.
