Get Ready to Celebrate and Elevate Your Senses at the Festival of Israeli Culture in Vancouver!
‘Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 14th, and get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant and multicultural nature of Israeli culture at the Jewish Community Centre in Greater Vancouver.
The Festival of Israeli Culture, a one-day festival, is entirely free to all and promises to be a fun-filled celebration of music, dance, art, sports, and delicious food and drink!
Get ready for community drumming by the Drum Cafe, Israeli dance, Mediterranean belly dancing, Flamenco, and the Israeli Choir, followed by a sing-along with the well-known Israeli musician Elad Shtamer.

For adults, there is a range of 19+ programs, including an Israeli wine tasting and cocktail party to sample some of the most delicious Arak-based cocktails (Arak is an alcoholic drink made primarily with aniseed and grapes) followed by an exhibition of Video Art from Bezalel Art University in Israel.
In addition to the performances and activities, the festival will have a market featuring a variety of eats from local vendors and food trucks, along with hand-poured candles, jewelry, clothing, arts and crafts, Judaica, and more!
