Florida Armenians Gearing Up for Return to Asbury 2015
Return to Asbury is pleased to be going into its 4th revival year in a row – and it is bigger and better than ever. With over 260 tickets sold so far, and prices set to go up on Wednesday, July 22, 2015, now is the time to join hundreds of Armenian Americans from across the U.S. in one of the oldest traditions – kef on the beach!
There’s something for everyone – join us at the Watermark Lounge for a welcoming cocktail on Friday night, then play Tavloo with the best of them on Saturday morning, and be sure to get some sun on the 7th Avenue beach Saturday afternoon (look for the Armenian flags!), or grab a drink poolside as the sun sets. Finally, this year’s attendees will become part of the first Armenians to attend a Kef at the Historic Asbury Park Convention Hall! You will be surrounded by hundreds of friends and family, making memories to talk about for years to come.
This year’s much-awaited ‘Armenian Kef Weekend on the Beach’ will feature the amazing Artsakh Band and…..the return of the Vosbikian Band to Asbury Park, NJ for the first time in over 40 years! This will be a one-night-only performance so don’t delay.
