In 2013, the Al-Bustan festival in Lebanon celebrates its 20th anniversary. The founders of the cultural event wished to revive the cultural life of a country emerging from 17 years of war. Since it was launched by Myrna Bustani in 1993, the festival has certainly achieved this objective, welcoming hundreds of local and international musicians and performers over the past 20 years. This year the festival will run from February 19-March 27.
