26-4-2017
Over 100 local and international festivals are planned for this summer and are expected to attract a considerable number of guests and tourists, according to Al Diyar newspaper today. The most notable are the International Festivals of Baalbak, Tyre, Beitiddine, Byblos and Batroon in addition to Beirut Holidays and Junieh festivals with its spectacular synchronized fireworks show. On this subject, Al Diyar pointed out that Junieh, north of the capital Beirut, is preparing for two separate events. The first will be announced today by the town’s mayor, Juan Hobeish, from the municipality palace, while the second projected will be publicized from Casino Du Liban. The newspaper uncovered a rift between the Municipality and the Festivals committee, pointing out that the two events in fact coincide and reported that the municipality has rejected to lease Fuad Chehab Stadium as usual every year, for it plans to organize its festival on the location. As such, the Junieh International Festival Committee decided to use the Gargur Square next to Casino Du Liban. The municipality will clarify its view on this today. (Al Diyar, April 26, 2017)
