Hutzot HaYotzer / The International Arts and Crafts Festival has become a summer staple over the last 38 years.

Located in the Sultan's Pool outside the Old City walls, it is a mixture of crafts, arts, design and performances from across the globe, including some of Israel's biggest names on the main stage.

Pavilions from counties around the world have shows and merchandise to buy.

Israel artisans have stalls with uniquely Israeli fare.

It's food, drink and fun for everyone.

There is so much to do and see for all the family.

Note - I highly recommended purchasing tickets in advance online in order to avoid the huge ticket lines for those who didn't do so.

18:00 - 23:00 Every night

(except Friday when it is closed and Saturday when its open from 21:00 to 24:00)
