About the event
About the Event
The St. Catharines Armenian Community Centre Annual Picnic stands as a landmark summer tradition for the Armenian diaspora in the Niagara region, bringing together families, friends, and visitors from across Ontario to celebrate cultural heritage, faith, and community solidarity. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Henley Island, this highly anticipated annual gathering offers the perfect open-air venue to enjoy traditional food, beautiful waterfront views, and warm fellowship under the summer sun.
A central highlight of the celebration is the return of the local Armenian kef band, whose lively performance of traditional folk and contemporary dance melodies promises to bring high energy to the park and keep the crowd dancing. Designed to be accessible and welcoming to all generations, the picnic serves as an essential cultural touchpoint that strengthens community bonds, preserves heritage, and welcomes neighbors to experience the rich traditions and hospitality of the St. Catharines Armenian community.
