Pasadena Armenian Coalition Announces Return of Community-Wide Cultural Festival

Thousands of Community Leaders and Members Expected to Attend and Participate

PASADENA – In a powerful display of collective community spirit, the Pasadena Armenian Coalition, comprised of over 25 schools, non-profit organizations, and Churches, returns to host its second annual Pasadena Armenian 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, unity, and tradition.

All proceeds generated from the event will be divided equally among Pasadena’s three private Armenian Schools, Sahag-Mesrob Armenian Christian School, St. Gregory A&M Hovsepian Armenian School, and L&H Tavlian Armenian Pre-School and Kindergarten.

“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 reminded me how strong and welcoming our Armenian community is here in Pasadena,” said Arpy Assadourian, community 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 Saturday, November 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Pasadena City Hall Centennial Plaza, located at 100 Garfield Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101.

Admission is free, and all are welcome to join the celebration. More information can be found online.
