Tel Aviv is inviting the public to experience the holiday season with its annual “Lighting Up Jaffa” events, a vibrant showcase of multicultural charm.
This year’s events feature a dazzling giant Menorah, sparkling holiday snow globes, and a traditional Christmas tree, while the Jaffa Flea Market transforms into a festive Christmas bazaar. Designed for residents and visitors of all ages, the lights capture the unique spirit and warmth of the season in the heart of Jaffa.
Jaffa is the ancient city south of Tel Aviv that is part of the City of Tel Aviv.
Ron Huldai, Mayor of Tel Aviv-Jaffa: “Jaffa stands as a beacon of true solidarity, mutual support, and strong community life, embodying the diversity and multicultural vibrancy that define Tel Aviv-Jaffa. ‘Lighting Up Jaffa’ events throughout December symbolize our shared hope for a
brighter and more unified future. I invite everyone to experience the beauty of Jaffa, celebrate its unique spirit, and enjoy the local culture.”
