The Abu Gosh Vocal Music Festival

Festivals in Jerusalem

The Abu Gosh Vocal Music Festival, the only one of its kind in Israel, takes place twice a year- at the Jewish Holidays of Sukkoth and Shavuot. So if you missed the previous one (and even if not), there is no need to wait a whole year. The Abu Gosh Vocal Music Festival is considered to be the largest and most important festival in Israel for vocal music, in which hundreds of singers and bands take part. During the Abu Gosh Vocal Music Festival the churches of Abu Gosh, such as the Church of Our Lady of the Arc of Covenant, turn into performance areas with excellent acoustics. Additional concerts take place at the Kiryat Ye’arim Church lawns.
