The parade begins at 12:00, from 135 Sokolov, then marching along HaNesi’im and Weizmann streets, culminating at the corner of Weizmann and Golomb. There will be wheelchair accessible areas at 27 Weizmann and 79 Sokolov Streets.

Typical Israeli scenes featured in the parade:

The infamous mangal (barbeque) on the traffic island will be seen in a vegetarian version, with awesome musical guests: Static & Ben El , and Sarit Hadad. What would the Israeli experience be without the outdoor market or WAZE, the app that changed the way we drive?

Following the parade there will be a street party opposite the Municipal Building (58 Weizmann) from 14:15 – 16:15. The Adloyada exhibits will be on display outside the Holon Mediatheque until Sunday, March 4, 2018.
