“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.

yeah... Mark my words, lebanon is a phoenix. Like the sun that rises after the lebanese storm, the situation in lebanon gets better after the storm.
Soon, Assad will be out, Iran will have bankrupted, Lebanon will be a wealthy oil nation, and a new centrist political current will be governing lebanon.

Glad to see the replacement of the tants with something to attract the citizens and revive the economy of this poor country.
