Enjoy a \u201cTaste of Childhood\u201d at the Adloyada, Holon\u2019s traditional Purim parade on March 8, 2012. A procession of decorated vehicles will precede the parade, opening the day\u2019s events at 11:00, with the parade beginning at 12:00. The Adloyada will march along Sokolov Street and end at Weizmann, corner of Histadrut Street.<\/p>\n

6,000 participants, giant displays, acrobats, musicians and everything from veggies to junk food & more will entertain the viewers with images of all the goodies that kids love to eat to the rallying cry of \u201cOchel, kadima ochel\u201d (roughly translated as: bring on the food).<\/p>\n

Among the giants will be a 2 meter Popeye with his trademark can of spinach, a much-larger-than-life pita with falafel that opens to let a host of dancers out onto the route, the ubiquitous schnitzel will make an appearance as will some slightly more gourmet displays: representations of the Israeli master chefs Aharoni, Shaul Ben Aderet, Moshe Segev and Eyal Shani.<\/p>\n

The parade is sponsored by Nickolodeon and the Food Channel, Bob Sponge will join the celebration accompanied by the winners of the channel\u2019s kid\u2019s recipe competition. There will even be a nod to current politics with a display of dairy products with a huge cow at the center, energetically milked by Bibi and Lieberman.<\/p>\n

The parade will end with a huge party with music, acrobats and pyrotechnics opposite the Holon Municipal Building on Weizmann Street. There will also be creative workshops in Weizmann Square on Thursday, March 8 from 10:00 \u2013 17:00 and Friday, March 9 from 10:00 \u2013 14:00.
