On September 20, 2026, the Armenian Diocesan Centre hosted the annual festival catch-up meeting for the committee and volunteers of the Armenian Summer Festival 2026. Organised with the blessing of His Grace Bishop Hovakim Manukyan, Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of the UK and Ireland, it was a gratifying evening of warm companionship and mutual appreciation for everyone’s hard work.
The guests enjoyed a free buffet of delicious homemade food and desserts, including Harissa donated by Tanya Kebabdjian of “Jakobs” and Anastasiia Shakhnazarian for the earlier Harissa Day celebrations. We also thank Vahik and Anna Hovnatanian for preparing the rest of the food, Nazik Andonian for baking and donating the large celebration cake, and Vera Harland for donating the blueberry cake.
While some guests unfortunately could not make it due to other obligations or Sunday’s limited public transport, we warmly thank and acknowledge them just the same. We hope you have enjoyed helping bring the Armenian Summer Festival 2026 to life, and look forward to seeing you again next year on June 27th!
