Purim Celebrations Tel Aviv 2027

Purim is one of the biggest celebrations in Israel and Tel Aviv is the epicenter of the party during this two day event that spans into a long weekend of parties and festivals.

  • Visiting for Purim Tel Aviv?  Stay in the unofficial, loosely designated gay village is roughly centred around the Dizengoff area of Shenkin Street, and Rothschild Blvd, a 10 minute walk to Hilton Beach. Stay at the “Superb” rated Shalom Hotel, an Atlas boutique hotel offering stylish rooms, great views and delicious breakfast options.

The Event

  • Next Edition – Celebrations run from Sunday 21st March – Wednesday 24th March 2027.
  • Purim 2027 falls on evening of Mon, Mar 22, 2027 – Tue, Mar 23, 2027
  • Purim is something of a mashup between Halloween and Mardi Gras, especially for those who aren’t very religious.

The Origins of Purim

  • The Purim celebration finds its religious roots in the story of how a plot against the Jewish people was foiled. This led to a holiday for feasting – marked by traditions such as exchanging gifts of food and drink, donating to charity, and sharing celebratory meals.
  • Like so many cherished holidays, Purim has taken on a life of its own, and it’s celebrated by the whole nation of Israel – from religious Jews in Jerusalem to secular Tel Avivians.

Purim Parties

  • Purim parties take place across Israel, filling almost every city with its street parties and their carnival atmospheres. More secular pastimes of the holiday include drinking, donning masks and costumes and engaging in general public revelry.  So visitors can get all the joys of visiting Israel (great weather, gorgeous landscapes, stunning beaches, modern cities, history everywhere) plus a fabulous nationwide costume party.
  • The largest of all these public celebrations is in Kikar Hamedina, the largest plaza in Tel Aviv in Tel Aviv. It’s a day-long rave attended by young and old, families and singles, gay and straight people.
  • Kikar Hamedina is a 20-minute walk or 10-minute drive from the gay bars along Shenkin Street. Choose a beach front hotel and take a taxi or walk to the square. Stay at the Leonardo Gordon Beach, rated “Fabulous” by guests with a seafront location.

Purim Gay Circuit Parties & Events

  • Celebrations are memorable both in Tel Aviv’s popular gay bars (like Shpagat) and at circuit events thrown by organizers like the POP Ring, who transform everyday warehouses into LGBTQ wonderlands.
  • Save some energy for AFTER-Purim: very popular with gay party people, it usually starts around 6am on Saturday of Purim week.
  • The Beef Parties are also very popular with bears, leather lovers and horny guys.
