Beiteddine Art Festival 2014

From Jun 26 to Aug 9, 2014
Beiteddine Palace

The Beiteddine Festival is one of the leading festivals in the Middle East. It takes place in a large and magnificent 200-year-old palace in the Chouf Mountains.

The Palace is a jewel of Lebanese architecture with its many courtyards, monumental gates, elegant arcades and leveled galleries. Each year, in the months of July and August, the festival presents outstanding performances by world famous stars and Lebanese artists.

Concurrent with the performances, the palace houses one or more international art exhibits. The Festival’s first edition was launched in the summer of 1985 amidst the war. It came as an act of faith in Lebanon’s cultural role and power of creativity, a call for normality amid the chaos and madness of war.
