The story
Amioun Olive Festival in Amioun/Koura
Amioun, the administrative seat of Lebanon's Koura district, anchors one of the country's most extensive olive-growing regions, though no single dedicated Amioun Olive Festival with fixed dates is independently confirmed. A broader late-July summer and heritage festival brings live music, dabke, and craft stalls, while informal visits to family presses during the autumn harvest offer the most reliable way to experience Koura's olive culture firsthand.
Amioun, the administrative seat of the Koura district in North Lebanon, sits at the heart of one of the country's most extensive olive-growing landscapes, with groves of ancient trees stretching across the district's limestone terraces and giving Koura its long-standing identity as an olive oil producing region.
