Chahar Shanbe Suri is a celebration on the Tuesday before NoRooz (PERSIAN NEW YEAR)... All Iranian families get together at NIGHTTIME and they build fires - and the celebrate, dance - and jump over the fires they have built.. it's a lot of fun.. Anyhow - this will be interesting.. the regime hates any celebration of true persian culture because it intrinsically opposes the mullahs philosophy of repression and backwards Islam.. the regime is in for some trouble for sure.. lets hope!!!!

That is when Persian people celebrate their new year or some thing like that... They like fire as a holy thing and gather around fire to celebrate the last wednesday of the Persian year.
Their new year starts 21st of March.
Hope I am correct...LOL!
