Klezmer Festival 2013

The main stage outside the Ottoman period fort, Saraya, got off to a late start last night. This was the first night of the  2013 Klezmer Festival in Tsfat. A beautiful night breeze (cold for those not from the cooler upper altitudes), lots of people in the streets, it's a party!

The light show on the Sarya fort. They sky was lit up with search lights, too.

The main stage at Saraya outside. There is also a stage inside the Saraya.

Every year as I round the bend going down Alozorov street to the Kikar Sade area, a smile comes to face. My little town filled with revelers for three nights a year.

Shadow kids! The kids found that one of the light sources gave them a perfect spot so make shadow shows on a nearby apartment building.

Lights are all lit up for the party.

I think I will have to shlep my tripod the next two nights for pictures. This is a night view from the area near Bagdad Café looking down into the Galilee hills at night.
