Join us for three days of exceptional music, laughter, and celebration of Lebanese culture!

The 2024 American Lebanese Cultural Center event, aptly named "Uniting Community, Building Tomorrow," aims to bring together the Lebanese community in a vibrant and enjoyable setting while also introducing our rich cultural heritage to non-Lebanese attendees. Since 2015, we have held this annual event to foster connections within our community and to share our traditions with a broader audience. This year, as in recent years, we are proud to support the Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon (CCCL) by donating 10% of our net income to their cause. Additionally, we are raising funds to realize our dream of building a dedicated cultural center and museum. Our vision is to create a space where our heritage can be celebrated and preserved, offering future generations a place to connect with and take pride in their roots. Through this event, we aim to strengthen our community bonds and make meaningful contributions to both our local community and kids in need in Lebanon, while continuing our practice of supporting the Houston community, as we have done in the past with the Fort Bend Educational Foundation.

Travel Around the World Cultures

Experience the rich tapestry of global cultures at our "Travel Around the World Cultures" showcase! This vibrant section of our event brings together diverse communities from across the globe, each sharing a piece of their unique heritage through music, dance, and traditional performances.

Join us on Sunday, September 29, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM as we journey from the Middle East to Asia and beyond. With a 5-minute time frame for each presentation, you'll delight in the sights and sounds of Lebanese, Palestinian, Taiwanese, Chinese, Indian, Native American, Filipino, Hawaiian, and Egyptian cultures, with more exciting additions signing up every day.

This is a rare opportunity to witness the beauty of cultural diversity up close. Don’t miss out on celebrating the world’s traditions, all on one stage!
