GO Transit has plenty of train and bus services you can use as you explore the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area!
Spring is here, and it’s time to welcome new beginnings! Nowruz, the Persian New Year, is a celebration of renewal, hope, and joy. Whether you're joining in traditional festivities, visiting loved ones, or taking part in community events, GO Transit is here to make travelling simple.
Nowruz marks the first day of spring and is celebrated by millions around the world. It’s a time for families and friends to come together, honour cherished traditions, and look ahead to the year to come. People celebrating Nowruz often prepare by cleaning their homes (known as “shaking the house”), setting the Haft-Seen table filled with meaningful symbols, and enjoying delicious meals with loved ones. The festivities are rich in culture, love, and beauty—just like the arrival of spring itself.
Are you looking to immerse yourself in the spirit of Nowruz?
Many communities in the GO Transit network are hosting exciting events to mark this special occasion. From cultural performances to Nowruz markets, here are some popular ways to celebrate near you:
