Vardavar

Vardavar is like a big water fight that happens in Armenia every year during the summertime. It's a special holiday where people celebrate by spraying water on each other with water guns, buckets of water, and even hoses. It's super fun and everyone gets soaked!

People also wear special clothes and hats for Vardavar, and some even decorate their homes with flowers and colorful ribbons.

The holiday has been celebrated for hundreds of years, and it's thought to have originated from a pagan celebration that honored the goddess of water. Nowadays, it's just a fun way for people to cool off from the summer heat and enjoy time with friends and family.
