Surround your senses in the ancient Armenian culture! Musicians, dancers, cooks and special makers are gathering for a day that we're fondly calling "Mid-Coast Maine meets the Middle East." Everyone is welcome, admission is free, and the festivities will start and 11:00 and finish by 4:00, in time to catch the sunset over the Bay.
Authentic food options include Armenian shish kebabs, Middle Eastern flatbreads, fresh out of the wood-fired oven, tangy yogurt drinks, fresh baked pita with a trio of vegetable pates, Armenian dessert tray and traditional coffee. Food available for purchase at the event but we recommend ordering in advance.

Armenian music is both rhythmic and melodious featuring the music of The Maine Kef Ensemble and Kotwica. It's hard to resist the urge to dance, and Carolyn Rapekevian will be here to teach regional folk dancing. Craft booths include pottery, textiles, yarn, honey, cheeses and more.
Handicap parking available. Please leave your pets at home. Bari Galust! (Traditional welcome of strangers as family!) See you soon!
