Winter Festival, Western Galilee: January 2027

Every year, the towns and villages of the Galilee get together for the Annual Galilean Winter Festival. The 3 days of festivities are packed with plenty of special events like culinary tours, workshops with chefs, festive dinners, and markets. Since there are a number of Christian-Arab villages in the Western Galilee, you can expect a healthy dose of Christmas spirit. Be sure to visit Mi’ilya, Beit Jann, Kfar Yasif, and Tarshiha.

For families spending their Christmas in the Galilee region, there are a number of arts and crafts workshops that kids and parents alike will enjoy, as well as nature and art tours. The festival culminates with a concert and music show. If you’re visiting Israel, be sure to check our curated list of exciting things to do in Israel in January 2027.
