Hezbollah supporters warming themselves by a fire on Thursday night in Beirut.
The protests started on Dec. 1 and the opposition, which includes Hezbollah, Michel Aoun's Christian party, and the Communist party, have vowed to continue until the government falls.
Lebanese workers construct a huge tent near the offices of Prime Minister Fuad Saniora. Saniora has so far refused opposition demands that he step down.
Barbed wire has been strung around Saniora's offices in central Beirut to prevent the crowd from storming the building. The opposition, however, has urged its followers to remain peaceful.
The opposition says the Saniora's cabinet is unconstitutional as it doesn't have the representation of the Shiite sect.
The government maintains that because two thirds of all ministers are still in office, the government remains legal.
Hezbollah and other opposition parties are demanding that the US reduce its influence in Lebanon and say that Saniora is a US puppet.
The Saniora government accuses Hezbollah of being too close to Syria and have accused Syria of trying to exert too much influence on the Beirut government.
Lebanese women chant slogans and hold pictures of Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah.
Hezbollah second in command Naim Qassem addresses supporters outside the government offices in central Beirut. So far, the protests have been peaceful.
Hezbollah has urged its followers to carry Lebanese flags instead of party flags.
