Following last year's success, the most beloved market in the country will host once again the most boisterous celebration in the country. Machane Yehuda comes to life after hours as dancers, musicians, sculptors, actors, poets, and those who have yet to be categorized weave in and out of the fresh and colorful produce. This year's festivities promise to be even more carnival-like!
The events will take place every Monday throughout July (July 4, 11, 18, 25) from 17:00-23:00.
Literally, "come to the shop-stall", "Balabasta" will transform the market into a centennial carnival of sorts, complete with street performances, a collaborative wall-of-origami project, live video art projections, watermelon giveaways, chili eating contests, concerts, giant puppets, sets from DJs and bands, produce carving workshops and more.
It's a veritable cacophony of music, art and food - with many of the cafes and restaurants staying open late to serve the crowds and culinary tours of the shuk's hottest kitchens.
