PanARMENIAN.Net - The 1st Annual Korean Armenian Festival is slated
to take place on September 15-16, 2012.
The two day affair will take place at Crescenta Valley Park and
promises to be a fun filled day for families and children of all ages,
according to Asbarez.
"The festival will symbolize a day of harmony and celebration of
cultures," stated James Pak, member of the Korean-American Federation
of North Los Angeles. "It will also symbolize the significance of
intercultural engagement which is so essential to our society today.
We hope that the community-at-large joins us in September for this
special festivity."
In hopes to advance growing cultural ties between the Korean American
and Armenian American communities, a group of creative and enthusiastic
individuals have come together to plan the first ever joint cultural
event. The Festival committee is comprised of members from both
the Armenian and Korean communities, many of whom are veteran event
planners with years of experience in organizing fairs, festivals,
dances, fundraisers and extraordinary cultural events.
"We have an exciting day planned for our community to enjoy," said
Arick Gevorkian, member of the Crescenta Valley Armenian Community &
Youth Center. "There will be choir and dance performances, games and
rides for young children, and barbeque competitions."
The Korean Armenian Festival is co-sponsored by the Los Angeles County
Department Parks & Recreation 5th Supervisorial District, Supervisor
Michael Antonovich. It is also supported by local businesses, the
Crescenta Valley Town Council, and various non-profit organizations. A
portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Crescenta
Valley Town Council Scholars.
