February Activities 2026
Celebration days! Beginning at sunset February 24 through March 1, the days of Ayyám-i-Há will be enjoyed in many ways. These are Intercalary Days, in between two of the nineteen months of the Bahá'í calendar, and occur immediately before the 19 days of the Bahá'í sunrise-to-sunset Fast. They are times for service, charity, gifts, parties, and other special activities that families and communities choose. Later this month, please check the Activities Calendar for more events.
See selected activities below: See more on the Activities calendar. The Portland, Beaverton, and Vancouver Bahá'í Centers each host weekly in-person devotional gatherings every Sunday, including children’s education at Portland and Beaverton Centers, and there are virtual and in-person gatherings throughout the week. You are warmly invited to all these public activities! No donations accepted, you are our guest.
