Matsuri Festival In Beirut

Friday, May 1, 2015
12:00pm -> 12:30am
EighteenSixtySix Court & Suites

The first Japanese festival is coming to Beirut.

This date falls in the middle of the “Golden Week” period in Japan, which contains several holidays like The Emperor’s Birthday, Showa day, Children’s day, Constitution Memorial day, and so on. The first week of May is also the end of the Cherry Blossom season. This is a period in time which represents the ephemeral nature of life and a time in Japanese culture that is traditional and contains rituals of peace.

Matsuri Festival Lebanon 2015 is the first event brought to you by 1866 Court & Suites Beirut, the place where Prime Cinemas, Pace e Luce, Uenergy gym, Roadster, Urbanista, and others join forces to bring to you unique and epic events!
The event is curated by Mo A Younes and Matsuri in collaboration with Lebanon’s own Lebanese Otaku.
