The White Night Celebrations - Main event

The White Night of Tel Aviv is back – and it's 100 times bigger! One of the city's most favorite events is returning on May 27th to celebrate the Centennial Year.

This year's White Night will be the largest ever, encompassing dozens of open-air festivities, concerts, rock shows, opera performances, theatrical presentations, night tours, special menus at select restaurants, and much more!

This year, in homage to the City's 100th birthday, the White Night will pay tribute to the heritage of Old Tel Aviv and the White City legacy.

The main events will take place on Rothschild Boulevard, which will feature period costumes and décor, a salute to classic Tel Aviv poetry, writing and theatre, and many nostalgic treats that will bring current Tel Avivis back to the 1930's and 1940's.

As always, (almost) all the events are free, so be sure to plan ahead and arrive by foot – the city will be packed!
