The story

Gyumri Day in Gyumri

Gyumri Day celebrates Armenia's second-largest city with music, dance and food, marked since 2003; unlike fixed-date holidays, its exact month is set anew each year by municipal decision, with past editions recorded in August, September (as My Love Gyumri) and October, so the current year's date should be confirmed directly with the city.

Gyumri Day celebrates Armenia's second-largest city with a programme built around music, dance and food, functioning as a civic anniversary rather than a fixed religious or seasonal holiday.
