Your Excuse to Visit Douma This Weekend: the Douma Summer Festival Returns!

We love keeping busy outside Beirut on weekends, simply because the weather is at least 70% more bearable when you’re not on the coast. If you’re looking for a fun weekend escape, you’ll want to add the Douma Summer Festival 2026 to your itinerary.

The Douma Summer Festival is bringing the heritage town to life with a packed lineup and free entry to all events. Festival lovers who want an excuse to enjoy lively crowds, shop local, and chow down on yummy bites can soak up the summer vibes in Douma.

You can also make a day of it and explore Douma’s history with a free heritage tour on Saturday and Sunday from 3 to 5 PM, spotlighting some of the village’s most stunning landmarks.
