    JOIN THE FUN AND CELEBRATE ARMENIA'S INDEPENDENCE
    AT THE ANNUAL GRAND FESTIVAL IN MONTREAL ON SEPTEMBER 19, 20 & 21


    This year's 3-day festival features an unprecedented seven orchestras
    and musical groups, popular Armenian singers, the Komitas choir, the
    Garni dance troupe, a Tam-Tam competition, a magic show, a stand-up
    comedian, clowns, face painters, games for children, a chance to buy
    goods from Armenia or with an Armenian theme, lots of tasty food, and
    a patriotic and fun atmosphere.

    The festival's highlight ceremony starts at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday
    September 20. It features a march by the AGBU scouts and students and
    the festival's godfathers and godmothers, followed by a few short
    speeches, the raising of flags, and a performance of folkloric
    dancing. A large number of dignitaries have accepted our invitation to
    attend the ceremony, including: Hon. Jason Kenney (Secretary of State
    for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity, and Parliamentary
    Secretary to the Prime Minister), Hon. Stephane Dion (Leader of the
    Liberal Party of Canada), Senators, Members of Parliament, Members of
    the National Assembly, Mayors, Ambassadors and Consul Generals, and
    leaders of other ethnic communities.

    Come with something in red, blue or orange, have fun and celebrate the
    17th anniversary of the independence of Armenia.
