The White City churned out its eighth White Night Thursday, turning Tel Aviv’s streets into a public performance space with more than 70 musicians, artists, actors and dancers spinning their tunes and moves into the wee hours of the morning.
On this prime evening for pulling an all-nighter, people didn’t start flooding the streets until well past 11 p.m. Local street artists who weren’t among the select few chosen for one of the city’s venues set up shop in a kind of an alternative White Night at the center of Tel Aviv’s most recognizable streets, while hundreds of people crammed the areas around local musicians playing the Jaffa market and Rabin Square.
Alternative indie rock musicians snagged center stage spots at Tel Aviv’s coveted performance space, the Pisga Garden, while jazz bands plucked their tunes at Kedumim Square, and a band of actors set up shop in the alleys of Old Jaffa.
Those who wanted the hard-core club experience that’s made the city famous went to the WiFi Headphones Party, where participants used Radio 102 FM’s smartphone application to join in the party as the city’s best DJs spun techno tunes for the younger crowd. Those brave enough to stay up wrapped up the night with yoga at sunrise on the Tel Aviv port deck, free of charge, of course.
