RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – The 62nd annual Armenian Food Festival, coined as “Richmond’s oldest and longest-running food festival,” is returning to the River City!

The Armenian cuisines include shish kabobs, cheese beoreg, Armenian meat pies, stuffed grape leaves and an original Hye Burger lovingly prepared by St. James Armenian Church members.

Wash down the excellent food with some great Armenian beer and wine, as well as traditional music and dancing.

The festival is Friday, Sept. 9 and Saturday, Sept. 10, from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on the corner of Pepper and Patterson avenues (834 Pepper Ave.)

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
