If you’re new to ArmeniaFest, you’re probably wondering what it is all about… Well, ArmeniaFest is our annual Armenian cultural and food festival that takes place in Carrollton, Texas and is organized by the Armenian community of the St. Sarkis Church. Starting in 2022, our cultural and food festival will take place at our new church on 4421 Charles Street in Carrollton on the third weekend of October every year.
We would love for you to spend a leisurely weekend with your family and friends enjoying our traditional and modern Armenian dances performed by the talented Groung Dance Ensemble and sessions of shourchbar (circle dance) step instructions. Have fun browsing our gift shop of Armenian souvenirs, bidding on silent auction items, and taking a chance on our wonderful raffle prizes! Learn about the St. Sarkis Armenian Church and its heritage from our exhibits and presentations, as well as church tours by our very own pastor! Hang out and spend time with fun backgammon games, children’s activities, and participate in our famous and fun pilaf eating contest! We love to talk about our food and you would too, once you get a taste of our hand-made delicacies from grilled kebabs to mouth-watering desserts! On top of that, we have a baking demonstration, a bake sale with delicious pastries, and coffee.
This is an incredible opportunity for visitors to get an experience and understanding of a different culture while having a ton of fun! Our Event Schedule page will guide you with times of the various activities that are taking place during the ArmeniaFest weekend!
So, come and enjoy our hospitality, bring family and friends, stay for a delicious meal and have a wonderful time joining the crowds that have been coming back to our Festival year after year!
