Life in the White City - White Night

In July 2008, UNESCO declared the White City (Tel Aviv) a world cultural heritage city. Tonight, July 3rd, 2008 - Tel Aviv will be celebrating the declaration with a city wide event that starts at 7:00PM and continues until dawn tomorrow. This is one night but over 100 separate events of all kinds and for every taste imaginable!
Tel Aviv knows how to throw a party, maybe better than any city out there. Not just for a few, not just for a special occasion, not just for the young! FOR EVERYONE! This is the forth year of the White Night festival in the city that never sleeps. Where bars and pubs close "when the last customer leaves".

Events taking place across the city include beach parties, dance parties in clubs and on open stages, theater, and music performances. Clubs, restaurants, and other sites also have specials for the day - all the way to the wee hours of the 4th of July. Some of the other treats are dance shows, Jazz and modern music, opera, and rock and roll shows.
Our city is going to party, like only Tel Avivians know how. Don't believe that crap on CNN, Israel is neither dangerous nor violent. Stop taking the word of ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, and CBC! You are not going to see any gun toting masked Palestinians or right wing extreamist "settlers" tonight here. Come to see our "White City" for the full night -- that's the W H I T E   N I G H T ! !

hi thanks for the info. Theres not a huge amount of info in english for all the TLv's events and activities, so your blog was great.

I have been living in tel aviv for a year now and to help other english speaking residents and tourists i began a website www.aguide2israel.com to try to make available, some of the info i always wanted to know. Its not a money making thing, more a service i wanted to offer.

Please feel very welcome to use links to my site if you want to offer more details to your readers on a subject or tourist site or whatever ....

and if you ever get the urge to write a post for me to put directly on the site be in touch with me. maybe you can write one once a month or something and have links back to your blog.

I am open to ideas. :)

anyway thanks for your great post, you are now in my favorites list so ill be visiting regularly.
