  The one night the city dresses up and drinks in the street; Florentin and the Rothschild end of town are the centre of it, and the parties run to daylight. The date moves with the Hebrew calendar. Bron ↗

  Memorial Day, when sirens stop traffic and entertainment venues close, runs straight into Independence Day: fireworks in the evening, then a public holiday of barbecues in packed parks, beaches and nature reserves. Public transport is limited and many shops close. Bron ↗

  Swimming season
