HOW TO SUCCEED AT A LEBANESE FESTIVAL

1. CHECK OUT THE MENU—no cash at food booths so buy an amount of tickets you think you’ll need and use extras for Almaza beer!

2. PLAN YOUR MEALS—avoid an angry stomach by taking a breather in between meals. Remem-ber, we have TAKE AWAY CONTAINERS if you’d like to continue the feast at home.

3. BRING YOUR DANCING SHOES— don't be alarmed if you’re pulled onto the dance floor, we live to dance!

Need help? Anyone wearing a red coordinator T-shirt can answer your questions!
