On Sunday, November 15th, Armenians from the GTA area gathered in the the Babayan ballroom of the Alex Manoogian Cultural Centre for AGBU Toronto’s annual bazaar and food fair. This event consistently draws a
large number of community members as it is a rare opportunity to taste and purchase delicious, authentic Armenian food. This year, the ballroom was filled to capacity and the hall was beautifully decorated within a Christmas theme.

Among the many savory items available at the food fair were a variety of homemade dishes including herise, kebab, koftas, sarma, itch, etc. Other featured food items included a selection of Middle Eastern salads and desserts. In addition to all the wonderful food, many vendors were also on site selling culturally relevant merchandise.

In order to ensure that the event proceeded smoothly, volunteers were on hand to help with the preparation and organization of the event.

AGBU thanks them for graciously contributing their time and help. It is with the help of our members and friends that AGBU’s bazaar has become a popular family event where people come to see their old friends and taste delicious Armenian food. We hope that you will join us at next year’s bazaar for great food and fun!
