    The Israel Festival is a multidisciplinary arts festival held for a few weeks every spring in Israel. Its current center is Jerusalem. The festival was founded in 1961 by Aaron Zvi Propes as a summer music festival taking place in the ancient Roman theatre in Caesarea. The programme was later extended to include many performing arts – classical music, ballet, jazz, theater, visual arts and lectures, and the location was enlarged to include venues all over the country. Since 1982, the country’s capital decided to adopt the Festival as its own. Throughout the festival, audiences are able to enjoy performances by artists from all over the world, as well as premieres of Israeli works and tributes to leading Israeli artists. The public can also attend a large selection of free performances, including street theatre, children’s shows and a nightly jazz club.
