The Balloon Vendor, Lebanese Street Festival Wall Art
You didn’t see him, you spotted him, from a mile away… a floating rainbow above a sea of people.
This poster brings back one of the sweetest street scenes in Lebanon, the balloon vendor making his way through the bustling roads of Beirut, Jounieh, or Tripoli, usually on hot summer days or during street festivals. With dozens of bright balloons tied to a stick and bobbing over his head like a walking cartoon cloud, he was every kid’s favorite sight, and every parent's greatest negotiation challenge.
The scene was always the same:
Child (pretending to be calm): “Mama, can I have one?”
Mama: “Fine!”
Child (now running, sweaty and full speed): “Yayyyyyy! I want the one with lights!”
Mama (to herself): “Akid rah yetla3 l aghla!”
This colorful print captures the joy, chaos, and charm of that moment. It’s not just about balloons; it’s about how something so simple could light up our whole day.
