Armenian Youth Federation offers three days of fun, Feb. 3 to 5
The Armenian Youth Federation of Toronto invites residents to break
the ice this winter by coming out to a Winterfest celebration this
weekend (Feb. 3 to 5) in North York.
Last year's inaugural Winterfest attracted more than 2,000 people,
and a larger and more exciting festival will take place this year
Friday night's headliner is Lebanese-born Canadian musician Karl Wolf,
performing his hit songs Yalla Habibi, Africa and Ghetto Love.
Armen Aloyan, California-based Armenian singer will be headlining
the festival stage on Saturday and performing for the first time in
Toronto. Another first-timer to the Canadian stage is the up-and-coming
Armenian singer from Washington, D.C., Krisdapor Arabian, performing
both Saturday and Sunday night.
There will be familiar performers returning to the festival stage
such as the one-man-band Armen at the Bazaar, Toronto locals Karina
Es, the Dark Dance Company. Toronto DJ Armo Kidd will keep the crowd
energetic between sets spinning the latest music in hip-hop, R and B,
reggae and house music.
Saturday's entertainment will also feature singer Khoren Mouradian,
a community favourite.
Sunday's events will conclude with children's entertainment duo Hoy
Lari, followed by the Hamazkayin Erepuni Dance Group.
The festival will once again feature a hockey tournament on Saturday
with the finals on Sunday.
Throughout the weekend, there will be several other attractions such
as an outdoor skating rink, fire buskers, magicians, a kids' zone,
Canadian and Armenian foods and other fun activities.
Founded in 1934, the Armenian Youth Federation of Canada works to
advance the social, political, educational and cultural awareness of
Armenian-Canadian youth.
