The story

Jounieh International Festival in Jounieh

Jounieh International Festival runs roughly ten days each June or July along Jounieh's Mediterranean coastline, combining outdoor concerts, street theater in the old town's shopping districts, and an annual Jounieh International Film Festival component with fiction and documentary competitions. The festival opens with a fireworks and yacht-gathering ceremony that lights up Jounieh Bay.

Jounieh International Festival stages a roughly ten-day program each June or July along the coastal city's Mediterranean shoreline, combining outdoor concerts, food, and music with street theater performances held within the welcoming shopping districts of Jounieh's older traditional Lebanese houses, giving the festival a mixed indoor-outdoor, historic-contemporary character distinct from the single-venue format of some other Lebanese summer festivals.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's opening ceremony, cannon lights over the bay, a gathering of yachts, and a fireworks display, gives Jounieh International Festival a maritime spectacle that few other Lebanese festivals can match given Jounieh's harbor setting

02

The mystery stays covered

Folding a competitive film festival into the same overall brand, alongside concerts and street theater in the historic shopping districts, also gives this event a broader cultural range than festivals built purely around live music
