The Mandaean New Year, known as Dehwa Rabba ("Great Feast") or Karsa, is the most sacred holiday for Mandaeans, marking the first day of the new year (often mid-July). It is celebrated with spiritual reflection, purification, family gatherings.

In 2025 members from the Mandaean For Life organisation (non for profit organisation) had gathered together and introduced the Mandaean New year festival, something which hasn’t been done before for the community. The hopes are to celebrate the Mandaean faith with all members of the community and allowing the future generations to have a sense of unity, celebrating freely.

With the huge success from last years event, we’re looking to provide an even greater festival for the community, something that will leave everyone in a state of bliss and enjoyment.

This go fund me has been created to sponsor the event in its entirety, all funds will be used to assist in covering all aspects of the event from staging to amusement rides, any and all donations are truly appreciated! We hope to see all kinds on the 25th of July at Woodward Park, Hoxton Park Road Liverpool 2168.
