Local
Armenian Church Celebrates Culture with 69th Annual Food Bazaar

Fresno’s historic Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic
Church is hosting their annual food bazaar Friday, October 4th. The
event features authentic Armenian cuisine. Lunch will be served from 11AM-2PM
and dinner from 5PM-8PM.

This year’s menu features Shish Kebab and Chicken
Kebab. Meals include pilaf, Yalanchi (stuffed grape leaves), summer salad,
bread and Shakar Shi (Armenian sugar cookie). Lamb Shank is also being offered
for dinner only; orders for lamb shank must be placed by September 27th.

“Our men’s and ladies society get together and
work endless hours to prepare and cook all the foods that will be served at
both lunch and dinner,” said event chairperson Evelyn Hamamjian. “Everything
served, including dessert, is homemade at the church.”

Meals are available dine-in, drive-thru and
takeout. Doors open at 10AM. A country store will feature frozen and baked
items for sale. Vendors will be selling handmade and vintage items. Tickets for
a 50/50 raffle will also be sold.

“Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church is one of
the oldest churches in Fresno and funds raised help with the upkeep of the
church and its community,” Hamamjian said.

The church is located on the corner of Ventura and
M Street in Old Armenian Town. The sanctuary was built in 1914 and is on the
National Register of Historic Places.

“This year during the bazaar we will be offering
tours of the church,” Hamamjian said. The tours will run from 11AM-1PM and from
7PM-8PM.

There will also be live Armenian music from the
band Mark Ohanesian and Friends from 7PM-10PM.
