Hye House is a modern revival of Armenian Kef culture. Hye House is a place where young Armenians can connect, celebrate and build community together.

Older generations had Kef nights with music, dance and belonging. We built Hye House to bring this energy back in a new way that refreshes and elevates our heritage while building community in the city we live. We want to bring beautiful design, creativity and production, combined with the best of our traditions.

We started with just an idea in New York City and, within a month, we've gotten hundreds of requests from our diaspora around the world to bring the Kef on the road.

Founder

Ara Bilazarian@ara.bilazarian

Ara started Hye House in 2025 to elevate Armenian culture for young diasporan Armenians in NYC. With a background in creative marketing and events, Ara realized there was more we could do as a community and began putting together events for friends. It quickly grew and is expanding across the country with the mission to bring people together and celebrate being Hye.
