Municipality Bickfaya-Mhaydsseh

Imagined and conceived by Cheikh Maurice Gemayel and Michel Touma in 1934, the flowers’ festival aimed at creating an artistic, cultural and tourism event which would distinguish Bickfaya from the rest of the villages.

Scheduled for the first week of every September, and placed under the patronage of the President of the Republic and the Minister of Tourism, this demonstration quickly knew a very big success, exceeding the village’s borders to become an annual national gathering welcoming thousands of visitors coming from all over the world.

Conceived and imagined by Adib Nakad in 1949, the kites festival was very quickly transformed into an annual event, gathering kite-flyers coming from all over Lebanon.
