أَقَامَ مِهْرَجَانُ لِيفَرْبُولَ لِلْفُنُونِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ يَوْمَ الْعَائِلَةِ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ، السَّادِسَ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ يُولْيُو ٢٠٢٦َ. جَرَى الْحَدَثُ فِي بَيْتِ النَّخِيلِ بِمُنْتَزَهِ سِفْتُونَ، مِنَ الظُّهْرِ إِلَى السَّاعَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ مَسَاءً. وَكَانَ الدُّخُولُ مَجَّانِيًّا، فَاسْتَطَاعَتِ الْعَائِلَاتُ قَضَاءَ وَقْتٍ مُمْتِعٍ مَعًا.

قَدَّمَ الْيَوْمُ مُوسِيقَى مِنْ شَمَالِ أَفْرِيقِيَا وَالسُّودَانِ وَالْيَمَنِ وَسُورِيَا. وَشَاهَدَ الزُّوَّارُ رَقْصَ الدَّبْكَةِ وَعُرُوضًا فَنِّيَّةً. كَمَا وَجَدُوا أَكْشَاكًا لِلطَّعَامِ وَالْفُنُونِ وَالْأَعْمَالِ الْيَدَوِيَّةِ. وَشَارَكَ الْأَطْفَالُ فِي سَرْدِ الْقِصَصِ وَوَرَشِ الْعَمَلِ. وَتَعَرَّفَ الْحُضُورُ إِلَى الْخَطِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ. وَاخْتَتَمَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الْمِهْرَجَانَ، بَعْدَ بَدْءِ بَرْنَامَجِهِ فِي السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ يُولْيُو.
