Taking place from 11-14 July in the main souk of Aley, the Aley Summer Festival (ASF) promises a one-of-a-kind experience, seamlessly blending various elements to take visitors on a memorable journey. We reveal some of the festival highlights.
Giving back to the community
Under the slogan “Connect, Celebrate, Embrace,” ASF aims to offer the community the best in celebration and experiences. Indeed, it is a platform for young Lebanese creatives to showcase their products and art free of charge. Additionally, ASF donates all plastic and tin cans to environmental NGOs. This year, Plastc Lab will create art installations from recycled plastic, complete with QR codes detailing the creation process and workshops for all attendees.
