Since midday, the guests enjoyed live music, folk dances, the Armenian cuisine, participated in interactive plays, chess games, visited various thematic exhibitions, shows, participated in readings, a mini football tournament was organized for schoolchildren. Not only Armenians gathered in Palermo: the festival interested both local residents and numerous tourists.
