Tel Aviv will hold its annual White Night—Laila Lavan—on Thursday night, June 25. This year’s event, White Night Europa, will honor European culture.
Thursday night is Israel’s version of Friday night because weekends are Friday and Saturday, and it’s called a White Night because people stay up all night for the event.

The Tel Aviv White Night is one of the biggest cultural nights of the year in the Israeli city, which appropriately calls itself on this night “the city that never sleeps.” Many events will take place throughout the night across the city, from beach concerts and parties to special exhibitions and tours. The wide-ranging focus of the night means there’s something for everyone!
The main events for the 2015 Tel Aviv White Night will be centered in and around Jaffa Port, Rabin Square, the Sharona, Hatachana, Kikar Habima (Kikar Hatarbut), Kiryat Sefer, Gan Hahashmal, and Menachem Begin Park (in the south of the city).
