Israel in Marin Festival | North Bay

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Pick up your map, and experience a taste of life in Israel.

This mini-festival offers a whirlwind tour of the food, culture, art, sport, music, and spirit of Israel. Learn about Israel through hands-on activities and games, a “shuk” (marketplace) selling Israeli food, and an archaeological dig.

Take a photo with a real camel, watch the film Holy Land Hardball and hear from former professional ballplayer (and current Tamalpais High School teacher), Aaron Pribble, author of Pitching in the Promised Land-about the one year that Israel had professional baseball.
