In mid-June, it's time to take part in Afkart, the festival of art. This is an annual event engaging artists, artisans, and designers who can show the public what they are capable of. There are exhibitions, workshops (including graffiti master classes), fashion shows, concerts, meet-and-greets. Most artists who attend the festival as participants have already made a name for themselves, although those who have not yet become popular are also invited. The festival takes place on Alarz Street.
In the middle of October, Beirut becomes a dream of all those having a sweet tooth as the venue for Salon du Chocolat. Such a festival just cannot be ignored, because it takes place at the Beirut International Exhibition Leisure Center. During the celebration, visitors have a wonderful opportunity to try the most delicious recipes from eminent confectioners and look at designer chocolate products. Be sure to take kids to the event, since a special program is prepared for them. After the event is over, Beirut Cooking Festival is held in the same center.
