Lebanon Summer 2025: Festivals & Concerts Not to Miss
After years of political upheaval and economic hardship, Lebanon stands at the cusp of a new era. The election of President Joseph Aoun in January 2025 marked a significant turning point, ending a prolonged political stalemate and ushering in a government committed to reform and stability. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, the nation is focusing on rebuilding its economy, restoring public trust, and reasserting state authority.
This renewed sense of purpose is palpable across the country, especially as Lebanon prepares for a vibrant summer season filled with cultural events, music festivals, and the natural beauty that has long made it a jewel of the Mediterranean.
