Triangle Lebanese-American Center

The Triangle Lebanese-American Center sits on Horizon Drive in north Raleigh, and it exists to keep Lebanese culture and heritage present in this part of North Carolina. It was started in 1986 by a group of people who cared deeply about Lebanon and wanted a place to share it.

The programs are social and cultural, and they run in both directions, preserving Lebanese traditions while exchanging them with American and other cultures around the Triangle. It is a place to learn about the country as much as a place to celebrate it.
