Last Saturday night, September 18th at 9:00 pm Boston celebrated the Armenian Independence Day. It was the second annual celebration held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was organized and held by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Armenian society, Harvard Armenian Society, and the Armenian Association for Academic Partnership and Support (ARMACLAD). The cost was only $5, but if you represented your armenian colors of red, blue, and orange then you can pay less for the entrance fee. Also, even though the actual date of the Armenian Independence Day is September 21, 1991, it was celebrated on the 18th. Everyone from all nations was invited, even many representatives went, to enjoy the Armenian dances, foods, drinks, and activities throughout the night. This year was the 19th year that Armenia was free from the Soviet Union, and became the Republic of Armenia. Next year we hope that the celebrations will continue and more people attend the gathering.
