Europe Day 2026
Europe Day symbolizes unity, peace, and a shared commitment to upholding common values.
In close cooperation with the European Union, Armenia is also committed to promoting and advancing these values.
Each May, the EU Delegation to Armenia organizes a series of events across both the regions and Yerevan. This year, the Europe Day celebrations will be held under the theme “EU–Armenia: Closer Than Ever.”
Join us in the heart of Yerevan for Europe Day 2026, a vibrant celebration of partnership, culture, and shared values between the European Union and Armenia.
The celebrations will kick off on May 10 in Yerevan’s Freedom Square.
