The story

Tannourine Cedar Festival in Tannourine

Tannourine Cedars Nights is a summer arts and music festival staged inside the Tannourine Cedar Forest Nature Reserve, one of Lebanon's largest and densest cedar woodlands. Live performances by Lebanese musicians unfold beneath centuries-old cedar canopy at altitude, drawing visitors who combine the concert with reserve hiking trails and the cooler mountain air of the Batroun highlands.

Each summer, Tannourine Cedars Nights turns one of Lebanon's oldest and densest cedar reserves into an open-air concert stage, pairing live performances with a forest setting that few Lebanese festivals can match.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The forest setting is the real draw here: rather than a stadium or a paved public square, performances take place among some of Lebanon's oldest surviving cedars, with sinkholes, limestone outcrops, and mountain streams forming the natural stage dressing

02

The mystery stays covered

Nighttime temperatures at this elevation drop noticeably compared to Beirut or the coast, giving the festival a distinct, cool-air atmosphere even in peak summer

03

The city starts moving

Because the venue sits inside a protected nature reserve, organizers work with conservation staff on lighting, access, and crowd limits, which keeps the event smaller and more intimate than coastal festivals
