Handicrafts for children and adults, swimming in the lake and pool and free camping make this a perfect weekend for singles, families, teens and seniors.
This year, the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa brings to the festival the UKUS IN FABULA TRIO, three musicians playing famous Italian (and other) songs. So what is new? Everything is rearranged and played only with ukulele! And more! They have 2 tenor ukuleles, a ukulele bass, a special version of ukulele that plays like a contrabass, and an electronic foot drum! Actually, UKUS IN FABULA sounds like a big normal electric band with 3 voices singing and harmonizing together!

- Friday, May 11th, at 16:00: UKUS IN FABULA (Italy) | Folk, Country, Jazz & Rock & Roll | Lawn stage
