La
Fête des Fleurs à Beckfayya
Festival of Flowers in Bikfaya in Lebanon - Lebanese Village of Bickfayya
A long tradition established in 1934 by Shaikh
Maurice Gemayel to attract the attention to the small town.
The festival featured a breathtaking array of vehicles decorated with thousands
of colorful flowers and fruits, live music bands, bazaar, election of 3 beauty
queens; the Queen of Flowers, the Queen of Fruits and the Queen of Sports. This
International Festival attracted millions of spectators from the four corners
of the world year after year.
Although such festivities had stopped as a result of the Lebanese Civil war in
1975, their memories live in our hearts and minds... forever.
