Lebanon's Byblos city is set to host a Greek cultural festival this summer, featuring Greek music, dance and food.

The festival, sponsored by Lebanon’s Ministry of Tourism and the Greek embassy, will run for three days starting June 7.

“This is the first time a large outdoor festival of this kind is being organized since the end of the civil war in 1975. We only had small-scale events in hotels or smaller venues, but nothing this big,” the festival’s organizer, George Eid, told Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA).
