JERUSALEM KNIGHTS - A CELEBRATION IN THE STYLE OF THE MIDDLE AGES
Visitors to the Old City of Jerusalem will be able to enjoy free of charge a celebration in the style of the Middle Ages. Tens of musicians, dancers, magicians, jugglers, knights, princesses, troubadours, royal court jesters and peddlers from the Middle Ages will return to the alleyways of the Old City and the charming corners of the Christian Quarter – a unique celebration in a unique setting.
Every Thursday in November, between 19:00 until 23:00, visitors and tourists are invited to enter the Jaffa Gate and travel back in time to the Middle Ages. The Old City will come to life in the cool fall evenings with characters and music from the past, as well as performances of dance, fire, acrobatics and theatre.
Local businesses, cafes and restaurants will all stay open late, many offering special deals for the Jerusalem-Knights celebration.
