La comunidad libanesa de Houston se reunió el 17 y 18 de octubre en Midtown Park para el festival libanés anual, organizado por el American Lebanese Cultural Center (ALCC).

Según el ALCC, el programa incluyó conciertos, dabke, puestos de comida, actividades infantiles, juegos al estilo de las aldeas y un desafío de backgammon, y el evento alcanzó su capacidad máxima. An-Nahar lo describió como una celebración del patrimonio y del compromiso con el Líbano.

El centro afirma que su misión es promover y preservar el patrimonio libanés en Houston y fomentar el intercambio cultural con la ciudad. Para muchos en la diáspora, estos encuentros mantienen vivo el vínculo con la patria en un momento de fuerte tensión para el Líbano.
