Downtown Beirut launched on Saturday the end-of-year festivities with a Christmas parade and the lighting of a tree in Beirut Souks.
“The festivities kicked off with shows performed by musical bands, acrobats and Christmas characters including Santa Clause,” a statement by Solidere said.
The company pointed out that the “shows will continue to entertain visitors throughout the whole month.”
On December 8 “Magical Santa's Village” will be inaugurated.
The celebrations will include a sacred music festival organized for the fifth year in a row under the slogan “Beirut Chants,” until December 25.
