Art, music, dance and plenty of food will be the highlights of the
annual Armenian Cultural Festival.
Performances will include a special show from the Armenian Sydney
Dance Company (ASDC), a fashion parade with designer Alicia Hollen,
Armenian didgeridoo player Edwin Safarian and Mike Lane from Australian
band Rivertribe.
The ASDC rehearse every Tuesday night in the Armenian Culture Centre
in Willoughby. At the festival a variety of stalls will sell food,
arts and crafts from Armenian culture and history.
Last year more than 25,000 people attended the festival, and this
year even more people are expected. Organised by Australian-Armenian
network, Hye Hoki, this is one of the biggest Armenian festivals
in Australia.
