About
Glendale's Armenian Festival is an annual celebration of Armenian culture held in the heart of the city with the largest Armenian American population in the United States. The 2026 festival brings together the local community and visitors from across Southern California for a multi-day event covering Armenian food, music, dance, arts, and cultural heritage.
Glendale is home to over 100,000 Armenian Americans — the Diaspora community that built an entire cultural infrastructure in this city over generations following the 1915 Armenian Genocide and subsequent waves of immigration. The annual festival is the public expression of that community's cultural vitality: it is not a packaged experience for outsiders, but a community celebration that happens to welcome everyone.
Traditional Armenian foods include khorovats (BBQ lamb and vegetables), dolma (stuffed grape leaves), manti (Armenian dumplings), lahmajoun (Armenian pizza), and an array of pastries including pakhlava and gata. Live Armenian music spans the full range from traditional duduk performances and folk songs to contemporary Armenian pop.
The specific venue for the 2026 Glendale Armenian Festival varies annually — check the Armenian American Cultural Foundation website for confirmed location and dates. The festival typically runs in September and is free or low-cost to attend. Central Glendale is accessible via Metrolink and local bus service.
