HYP Fest / Lebanese Festival 2010, Melbourne - IMG_9094
"HYP Fest (Harmonious Youth Participation Festival) is an event refreshing Lebanese culture through the youth.
The event aims to promote and educate the wider Australian community about the essence of the Lebanese culture, customs and its rich traditions. HYP Fest endeavours to highlight the contributions and influences the Australian Lebanese community have had on Australian culture, incorporating the best of both worlds into our very existence.
HYP Fest represents the unity of the Australian Lebanese people, both young and old with the wider community and is an example of breaking barriers and embracing what Lebanese have to offer- food, dance, music and culture!
Since its beginnings two years ago, HYP Fest has been a successful event enjoyed by both the young and old and the broader community and hopes to continue flourishing in the future.
The origins of HYP Fest came about through the continuous work Australian Lebanese Welfare (ALW) have done with the Lebanese and Arabic speaking community over the past 25 years. Through many consultations with the Lebanese young people and their concerns about how they were being misrepresented following incidents and media reports, the concept of developing a festival celebrating Lebanese heritage and culture emerged and HYP Fest became a reality. This event is a joint initiative with the Australian Lebanese youth and the greater community to promote and celebrate cultural awareness and harmony through the only way us Lebanese know how to- dance, food and lots of music!" - www.hypfest.com.au
