Tzfat Klezmer Festival 2016

The 29th annual Klezmer Festival will be Monday, August 15, Tuesday, August 16 and Wednesday, August 17. Come for the whole festival or for one night. This international festival is the largest Jewish soul music festival in the world. It attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year.

During these three evenings, there will be non-stop music on several stages throughout the Old City of Safed. If you plan to come for Klezmer in Tzfat, book your accommodation soon as every bed in town will be taken! If you come for one evening and are driving up, you will have to park your car at a designated lot outside Tsfat and then take a shuttle. When you arrive, pick up a program of events and stroll from stage to stage. This year, we've counted 35 artists and bands who will be performing in 70 concerts on five outdoor stages....under starry skies in the cool Tsfat night, of course!

Aside from three evenings of magical music, there is much more to do in Tsfat - for free! Check out the Klezmer Festival 2016 activities.
