The story

Ehdeniyat International Festival in Ehden

Ehdeniyat International Festival is a summer music and culture program staged in the North Lebanon mountain town of Ehden, organized by the Al Midan NGO and running across several weeks each July and August. Recent editions have featured a run of evening concerts mixing Lebanese and Arab artists across pop, folk, and other genres, alongside environmental and arts programming.

Ehdeniyat International Festival brings a distinctly laid-back mountain sensibility to Lebanon's summer festival circuit, staged in the town of Ehden in the Qadisha Valley region of North Lebanon and organized by the Al Midan non-governmental organization rather than a commercial events company.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Ehdeniyat from many of Lebanon's summer festivals is its organizing structure, run by a non-governmental organization rather than a commercial promoter, and its programming mix, which pairs concerts with environmental activities, film, theater, and crafts rather than focusing purely on headline musical acts

02

The mystery stays covered

Its mountain setting near the Qadisha Valley and the Cedars of Tannourine gives the festival a genuinely laid-back, nature-adjacent character distinct from Lebanon's coastal and seaside festival venues
