ArmeniaFest is an annual Armenian cultural and food festival that takes place in Carrollton, Texas. Each year, on the second weekend of October, we organize and put together a program of folk dances, children's tales, special exhibits, church tours, delicious foods, and other activities to celebrate our faith, heritage and provide an environment for a great family outing.

This is an incredible opportunity for visitors to get a hands-on experience about a different culture while having fun! You will find plenty of outdoor games and activities available for our young visitors and older ones too!! Spend a leisurely day with your family viewing beautiful handcrafts or idling through the exhibits that capture the fascinating history of Armenians. Take time to learn about the unique Armenian alphabet that was invented in A.D. 405 and used in the earliest translations of the Bible and how Armenia became the first Christian nation in A.D. 301.
