ArmeniaFest is our annual cultural and food festival organized by the Armenian community of the St. Sarkis Armenian Church taking place on the St. Sarkis Church grounds on 4421 Charles Street in Carrollton. ArmeniaFest began as a small gathering at St. Sarkis on Random Road and has since blossomed into a beloved annual event that welcomes the DFW and surrounding areas.
