As with every year for the past 5-6 years I wait and count down for one of my favorite outdoor festivals... The Garden Show & Spring Festival!!!
Finally, the wait was over & yesterday we got to visit it during its Day 2...entrance fees: 10,000/adults & kids for free...Parking is available (supposedly for free.. yet we were asked to pay 5,000!!!) shuttles available for pick-up & drop-offs...
We were nicely greeted by the event hostess, who filled out the entrance info for us , & handed #Gardenshow bag with complimentary magazine!! And we started our 2hrs fun city break :)

As with every year, BankMed, captivating and creative stand is the first thing that pops up!! We took our photo with "YOU" sign and continued watching the stands with their furniture displayed nicely making you wish you desperately had your own garden and all the things you would buy for it :)
Basically participating stands we're pretty much the same (-or+) differently allocated changed of space taken and of course with this year trends and ideas!!!

Kids Section:
Hosted by C2C (Le Club des deux Clowns) kids village: music, dancing and lots of activities! big inflatables and fun booth to entertain the kids (I had to avoid it as we r out on a school night & not enough time)
***but from our last year experience entrance was 10000/kid/10voucher points to use on each booth!! Kids had a great time and we spent an hour in that section....

Food courtyard:
My other favorite section about this place!!! A big picnic area circle under the few remaining trees with tables and chairs and a music band in the middle playing nice sweet songs!! Food stands lining all around & your best judge to pick is beautiful smell followed by tempting looks!! We got pastries from souk el |Tayeb stand for healthy yummy homemade food along with our fresh juices along with burger from sand inc & hotdogs!!

Why I like it?
The only time per year to visit Beirut Hippodrome and enjoy the outdoor green scenery within the city...
A nice short and fun break enjoyed by both adults and kids...
Kids to run freely and kick the sands while playing & laughing
Enjoy your snack dinner or drink in the outdoor nature while listening to nice songs & getting glimpse of a cool breath
Chance for outdoor lovers to shop or get ideas
