One of my best memories of my childhood is the annual trip to the Hutzot Hayotzer (artists colony) Festival in Jerusalem.
This is an Israeli / international artists' festival, The festival takes place once a year every summer in the Old City of Jerusalem.

When my partner's son grew up, (he is 10 years old) I wanted to give him this experience as well, So in the last 3 every summer we go up to Jerusalem for the festival
The purpose of the festival is to present art, artists, and artists from all over the world. The place is divided into 4 complexes, one featuring only local artists (handicrafts only). The two complex is a food complex, offering a wide range of dishes from all the oysters. The third area is the international complex and the main one! Which is the most interesting because of the arrival of artists from around the world who display their culture and the work from where they come from, in every stand written the name and the country of origin, we saw many beautiful things and we enjoyed the most to see cultures and people from different places in the world.
The fourth complex is the performance tribune, and every day there are some of Israel's leading musicians.
If you are interested in getting more information you can go to the official website of the festival
