White Nights in Tel Aviv

June 28, 2007 - 11:04 AM by Liza

Tonight, Israel’s self-proclaimed “city without a break” will be letting loose with even more excitement than usual as Tel Aviv celebrates its second “White Night” festival, inspired by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) decision to declare Tel Aviv a World Cultural Heritage Site.

Fashioned after a similar event held in Paris (though admittedly on a much lower budget), a variety of events will be taking place across the city, with everything from beach-side dance parties to theater performances, from museums and other sites staying open until the wee hours to guided tours of different parts of the city, from lectures to a city-wide late night mini-marathon, and more. Free shuttle buses will run every hour from 9pm to 2am, transporting festival goers to the various sites across Tel Aviv. We’re definitely in favor of free shuttle buses, given how difficult it can be to find parking in Tel Aviv on a normal evening (or during the day, or during the morning hours, for that matter…). Don’t even get me started in the city drivers…

Tel Aviv Night

It sure sounds like a great way to spend a warm (and unfortunately rather humid) summer evening in the big city, doesn’t it? Information about White Night events can be found in Hebrew on the official website, and scattered information in English can be found here, here, and here.

Have fun, folks!
