Tel Aviv’s annual EAT Festival will return for its 10th edition on May 11–14, bringing a four-day culinary event to Charles Clore Park along the Mediterranean coast.

Organizers say the festival, Israel’s largest food event, will feature dozens of restaurants, street food vendors and chef-led kitchens offering a range of local and international dishes, alongside live music and cultural programming. The event aims to showcase the city’s food scene in a single, accessible venue.

Especially now, we choose to gather together by the sea and make room for joy, flavors and human connection.”
