What’s On! March Events in Tel Aviv
Well hello there, March! It’s that time of the year where we experience one-part winter, one-part summer, and given the mild Mediterranean weather Tel Aviv offers, hot and sunny days such as those we had last week, are common this time of the year, allowing sun worshipers to take over its’ beaches for that first time sun therapy of the year. The only thing I can say for certain, is that the month of March boasts some happy, fun events, marking the beginning of Spring in Tel Aviv.
As spring officially commences March 20th, (but really, when has spring ever left?) it brings with it that wonderful, fresh, new and exciting feeling many of us Tel Avivians have been longing for. Unlike Europe or Northern America, we enjoy a relatively short winter, and although Tel Aviv is a non-stop city all year round, it’s in March that Tel Aviv truly awakens from its winter sleep, welcoming spring with open arms taking us Tel Avivians straight into summer time with it’s on going party and festivities.
International Women’s Day
Tomorrow, March 8th, happens to be International Women’s Day, and as such many shops, café’s, restaurants and bars across the city will be celebrating the event by offering free giveaways to women, like this one, my top Burger Bar in the City – Agadir Embassy on Ben Yehuda, giving out a free cocktail for the ladies.
So to all the ladies out there, make sure to treat yourselves tomorrow, and embrace all the freebies Tel Aviv has to offer.

Initially a one-day holiday, the celebrations have recently become a weekend-long tradition spiced with costumes, high alcohol consumption and a festive buzz that lights up the city. The events take place March 24th to 27th.
The main attraction, Tel Aviv’s Purim street party, which has become a major annual event attracting thousands of people from all over the country, who take to the streets and gather in celebration will be taking place in Kikar HaMedina, Friday, March 25th.

Tuesdays & Thursdays at Sarona Night Market
Ever since its opening last August, Sarona Market has been my top choice to nibble and catch up with friends over a glass of red, as well as enjoy fresh, local produce, and with its branded cookware shops, it has everything you need under one roof to get into that cooking mode. And even more so, food shopping made fun with its night market held every Tuesday and Thursday, with live D.J, and free chasers given to visitors.
And make sure to stay updated on specials with their Facebook page (in Hebrew).
Yoga at Tel Aviv’s Municipality Roof-Top
Unwind and welcome the weekend with Yoga overlooking the Tel Aviv skyline at the roof-top of the Tel Aviv Municipality building. Every Friday until March 31st. * Yoga is free for ‘Digitel’ Card holders.
The ‘Digitel’ Tel Aviv resident card is Tel Aviv’s ultimate card granting its holders with special offers, discounts and benefits as well as first updates on everything that’s going in the city. Simply apply for one through the Tel Aviv municipality.
