L'Orient-Le Jour Festival 2025

For the first time in its history, L'Orient-Le Jour, together with L’Orient Today, is hosting its very own festival.
Join us on an exploration of international issues, politics, art, censorship, artificial intelligence and more, featuring distinguished guests including former French President François Hollande, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, as well as artists, researchers and activists, each offering their reflections on a world in turmoil.
The three days of debate and celebration will be open to all, topped off by an exclusive concert by Ibrahim Maalouf and the Trumpets of Michel-Ange. A wind of freedom awaits you on Sept. 12, 13, and 14, 2025, at the Beirut Hippodrome.
