Holiday of Holidays in Haifa: Throughout December 2026

The Holiday of Holidays, or Chag HaChagim in Hebrew, is an annual celebration of the religious and cultural diversity of the city of Haifa in the north of Israel. It takes place every December and marks the Hanukkah, Christmas, as well as Ramadan holidays for the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim residents of Haifa who live peacefully side by side.

Activities during the Holiday of Holidays include food stands, antique fairs, arts and crafts fairs, music, circus, and street celebrations. The event is intended to encourage the values of coexistence and mutual respect of all religions in the city. The festival takes place in the Arab Wadi Nisnas neighborhood and extends to the German Colony near the Bahai Gardens.

The Holiday of Holidays is a perfect way to experience the unique blend of Hanukkah in Northern Israel, where traditions, culture, and community come together.
