Vardavar is a vibrant and fun-filled Armenian festival where people of all ages splash water on one another, symbolizing purity, renewal, and joy. Rooted in ancient pagan traditions and later embraced by Christianity, Vardavar celebrates love, forgiveness, and unity.

 

Held 14 weeks after Easter, the festival brings communities together for a day of laughter, play, and cooling off in the summer heat. Whether you’re drenched by friends or strangers, Vardavar is a unique way to experience Armenian culture and its lively spirit!
