PASADENA, CA – In a powerful dis- play of collective community spirit, The Pasadena Armenian Coalition, com- prised of over 25 schools, non-profit organizations, and Churches, returns to host its Second Annual Pasadena Arme- nian Festival to showcase its rich, proud and historic Armenian culture to the San Gabriel Valley community. After its success in 2024, bringing together over 4,000 attendees, over 50 vendors, and over 15 performers, the festival presents its encore presentation to reinstate a celebration of culture, uni- ty, and tradition. All proceeds generated from the event will be divided equally among Pasadena’s three private Arme- nian Schools, Sahag-Mesrob Armenian Christian School, St. Gregory A&M Hovsepian Armenian School, and L&H Tavlian Armenian Pre-School and Kin- dergarten. “Attending the first Pasadena Armenian Festival was such a wonderful experience. I loved walking through the different booths, each one had something unique, from handmade crafts to amazing food. The whole day really re- minded me how strong and welcoming our Armenian com- munity is here in Pasadena,” said Arpy Assadourian, com- munity member. The Pasadena Armenian Festival will feature arts and crafts activities, food vendors, dance classes, and a number of cultural performances providing interactive elements for community members to experience the full richness of the Armenian culture. The Pasadena Armenian Festival is taking place on Sat- urday, Saturday, May 30th, 2026 at the Pasadena’s Victory Park from 11:00a.m. to 7:00p.m. Located at: 2575 Paloma St, Pasadena, CA 91107 Admission is free, and all are welcome to join the cel- ebration.
