🎉 WHAT A WEEKEND! THANK YOU FOR MAKING ARMENIAN FEST 2026 A TRULY UNFORGETTABLE SUCCESS! 🇦🇲✨

To our incredible parish family, neighbors, friends, and guests who joined us over all three days: THANK YOU! You came hungry, brought your warmest smiles, danced (a little!), and turned this weekend into a vibrant celebration of culture, heritage, and community.

Thanks to your overwhelmingly generous support, we sold out of countless favorite dishes and created memories that will last until next year’s Fest! Every smile, every plate of food enjoyed, and every shared laugh helped make this one for the history books.

📸 Drop your favorite photos, videos, and festival moments in the comments below—we’d love to see the Fest through your eyes!

With deepest gratitude and love,

Fr. Samuel, the Board of Trustees and the 2026 Armenian Fest Family ❤️

It may have been pouring outside, but our amazing setup crew worked through the rain to build our festival grounds!

We want to extend a huge thank you to our hardworking community members who braved the downpour to get our tents and festival grounds prepped: Fr. Samuel, Khajak, Sue, Mike, Levon, Sylva, Berg, Vahe, Paul, Aren, Shant, Mike, and Vahan. Your dedication is what makes this festival so special! ❤️

Don't let the weather keep you away—no need to wish for the rain to go away, just come inside! We have plenty of indoor space ready so you can enjoy all the food, music, dancing, and community warmth completely out of the elements.

💦 VARTAVAR TOMORROW! Are you ready?! 💦

The weather is set, the BBQ is prepped, and the water will be flowing! Join us tomorrow, Sunday, July 12th, right after church services for a celebration of joy, tradition, and lots of splashing!

Before you head out the door tomorrow morning, here is your quick Vartavar checklist:

✅ BYOB (Bring Your Own Bucket): Or water guns, or spray bottles! Bring whatever you need to drench your friends.

✅ We've Got You Covered: The church will be supplying all the water stations to keep you locked and loaded! 💧

❌ NO WATER BALLOONS: Please leave the water balloons at home! They are not allowed so we can protect our beautiful church grounds.

✅ Change of Clothes: Trust us, you’re going to need it!

Grab your family, grab your buckets, and let’s make some unforgettable memories! See you tomorrow! 🎉
