Armenian Street , or Lebuh Armenian, is a street in the inner city of George Town and within the core zone of the George Town Unesco World Heritage Site.

The street is the venue of the weekly Armenian Street Fair.

Armenian Street Fair
The Armenian Street Fair is a weekly street fair taking place along a stretch of Armenian Street between the intersection of Pitt and Cannon Streets to the west and Beach Street to the east. The fair is held every Saturday evening. It is the venue for local talents to showcase their crafts and street performances.
History of Armenian Street
Armenians arrived in Penang by way of India. By 1822, they had established their church, the Armenian Church of St Gregory, which was located where Bangunan Mayban Trust is standing today. It was some eleven years older than the Armenian Church of St Gregory in Singapore. However the church was demolished around 1937, by which time most of the Armenians had packed up and left Penang.In the earlier days, Armenian Street was known as Malay Lane. This was how it was labelled on the 1803 map of Governor George Leith1, based on the Malay and Achehese presence in the area that predates the shortlived stay of the Armenians on that street. The Malay settlement continues to this day with such monuments as the Acheen Street Mosque and Penang Islamic Museum in that vicinity. On the other hand, the name Armenian Street first appeared on the 1807 map1.Armenian Street developed its Chinese appearance as Chinese traders moved into the area from the turn of the 20th century. Clan temples such as Cheah Kongsi, Yap Kongsi and Khoo Kongsi were established either on or within a stone's throw of Armenian Street. Traders and merchants of these clans helped to finance the mining of tin in the Larut district of Perak, which resulted in much prosperity flowing into the Armenian Street area from the 1860s right through to the early 20th century.
In Other Words ...
Armenian Street is known in Hokkien as Phak1 Tang3nga1 Kay1 (打銅仔街 Pinyin: Pāi Tóng Jiē) meaning "coppersmith street" from the junction with Acheen Street to the junction with Cannon Street. It is known as 本頭公巷 (Pun1 Thau3 Kong3 Hang33 ) between Cannon Street and Beach Street.
House Numbering
The address on Armenian Street descends from east to west starting from Beach Street, with housing on the left having odd numbers and those on the right even.
Street Art
Armenian Street has three pieces of street art. They include two murals by Ernest Zacharevic and two steel-rod sculptures based on caricatures by Tang Mun Kian. I call the murals "Little Children on a Bicycle" and "This Old Man", while the sculptures are called "Procession" and "Then & Now".Source from penang-traveltips.com
