10 Fun Events Happening Around Lebanon This Weekend
Beirut.com here and we’ve rounded up the coolest, hottest, and most unique events happening around Lebanon this weekend! Enjoy your weekends, everyone!
Friday:
1. Full Moon Walk & Dinner
What: Join in on a hike through the silhouette of some of the oldest Cedars trees in Lebanon, and end the refreshing walk with a dinner around the bonfire. What a way to end your tiring week!
What: “Humanity is getting far from simplicity and sincerity by distancing from childhood during which you are the same on the inside and out, you easily speak your mind and live it out. Growing up, you look in the mirror as you wake up every morning and gradually disguise your face deliberately or accidentally to adapt to the expectations of the society or to advance your interests; accordingly, some parts of the essential human truth will be concealed with the mask of unreal appearances.”
We won’t say much more than that, but be sure not to miss this exhibition by the talented Iranian artist, Nazanin Zadmehr.
4. Fantôme de Nuit x Ballantine’s at Odin (Mzaar-Kfardebian)
What: Ballantine’s and Fantôme de Nuit team up for a crazy night in the mountains of Mzaar-Kfardebian, at the breath-taking Odin sitting on a top of a 2000m hill. Escape the city’s heat, noise and pollution and join in for a quality night with this DJ line-up: Mel, Whoisbibz, 3LIAS b2b Raphael Merheb, Nesta, and Eli Atala – ELI b2b Rolbac.
What: The hike will start from Horshieh, where a very cozy path among olive trees will lead to a small church called Saidet el Khrayeb. The trail will pass by the sea, an old village rich in ruins and caves, the salt ponds, a very old monastery, “Deir El Natour”, and will end the hike in “Tahet El Rih” where you will swim and explore the Citadel of Anfeh.
What: Hammana is a beautiful village in Metn, and after a very easy small walk you will reach its majestic cherry orchards. This is where the fun begins: you will each be handed a bucket to pick cherries and enjoy this satisfying activity. Once done, you will get the chance to have around 2 kgs of cherries as a payback for all of your work.
What: With Nami Ghostine on lead guitar and vocals, Ayman Zebdawi on drums, Antnio Hjj on bass, Nami & the Wingmen will be playing some blues and rock tunes, as well as some originals, to end your weekend on the best note.
What: This is the biggest event for cycling lovers in Batroun yet and it’s the most fun you’ll ever have while learning something new! The first edition of our Batroun Touristic Bike Festival is here and you’ll be able to cycle your way among 1000 bikes in the old town of Batroun, and learn about its rich history from expert guides on location. The route will end with a live band performance at Colonel Beer Brewery.
