46th Annual Lebanese Heritage Days Festival 2022
On Saturday, August 6th from 5pm until midnight and Sunday, August 7th from 11am until 10pm, the parish community of Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church in Easton, PA will celebrate its annual Lebanese Heritage Days festival.
The festival was established more than four decades ago to recognize and commemorate the rich traditions of the Lebanese American community in Easton. Rain or shine, Lebanese Heritage Days has become one of downtown Easton’s leading summer events. Each year, the festival draws thousands of people to the church parking lot at South 4th and Ferry Streets, festooned with brightly colored tents and replete with the aroma and sounds of a traditional Lebanese celebration.
In addition to the delectable Lebanese fare, which includes (but certainly is not limited to) hummus (chickpea dip) and tabbouli (fresh vegetable and bulgur wheat salad) and grilled items such as shish kabob and chicken with garlic sauce, the grounds come alive this year with the sounds of Eddie Ossama and Rami Badr. Mass will be celebrated prior to the start of the festival on both days inside the church: Saturday, August 6th at 4pm and Sunday, August 7th at 10am.
All are welcome to attend. The highlight of the weekend, however, is the performances of the children’s ethnic dance troupes on Saturday and Sunday evenings.
There are also lots of enjoyable things to do for the entire family, such as children’s
activities and games, souvenir shopping and much, much more. Credit/debit cards are
accepted for many food items and souvenirs. This year’s annual raffle will feature a Grand
Prize of $10,000.
