Pasadena Armenian Coalition to host second annual community festival

The Pasadena Armenian Coalition (California), following the success of its 2024 event, will host its second annual community cultural festival on November 15, celebrating Armenian culture, unity, and tradition.

Last year’s festival attracted over 4,000 attendees and featured more than 15 performers. It also included an exhibition and fair with over 50 booths.

All proceeds will be equally distributed among three private Armenian schools in Pasadena: the Sahag-Mesrob Armenian Christian School, the St. Gregory Alfred and Marguerite Hovsepian School, and the L&H Tavlian Armenian Preschool and Kindergarten.

“The first Armenian festival in Pasadena was a true revelation for me. I walked through the booths, each one unique—from handmade crafts to incredibly delicious food. That day reminded me of how strong and welcoming our Armenian community in Pasadena is,” said community member Arpi Asadurian.

This year’s festival will once again feature arts and crafts exhibitions, food sales, dance lessons, and a variety of cultural performances designed to foster interactive engagement and allow attendees to experience the richness of Armenian culture.

The Armenian Festival in Pasadena will take place on November 15 at Centennial Plaza near City Hall, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome to join the celebration, organizers announced.
