The Tavor Festival happens this April, and is another sure-fire reason to come and visit the Galilee in the Spring!
The festival, which runs from April 19-28, includes a number of different cool events happening each day, all in the area of the magnificent Mount Tavor (often known as Mount Tabor), the mountain that dominates the Lower Galilee skyline.
Here’s a quick look at some of the highlights:
- Round the Tabor Race: The 61st annual race around the Tabor happens on the 19th April. The race is split into two main races, the 11km and 5.5km runs, though there are also family friendly runs. See the event site for more details (Hebrew only).
- Family Bike Ride: Take all the family for a bike ride along the beautiful Tavor River on the 20th April (morning).
