Ashkelon prepares an August festival and upgrades its marina and schools

Beer BaAgam 3 will take place on August 26 and 27 at Ashkelon Eco-Park. The announced lineup includes Ninet Tayeb and Melech HaKaset hosting Eli Luzon on August 26, followed by Netta Barzilai and Moshik Afia on August 27. According to the ticketing platform, Ashkelon residents can buy subsidized tickets for ₪50 with an ID card, while the visitor price is ₪80; admission is for ages 18 and over. Tickets and current terms are published by the organizers.

Ashkelon Marina has presented a comprehensive upgrade plan. It includes improved infrastructure and services, stronger security, a new fuel station and continued engagement with boat owners. The city’s Economic Company said it invests ₪3–4 million annually in the marina beyond its income; this is a development plan, not a statement that all works are complete.

The municipal education system has appointed Ashkelon resident Penina Green as the new principal of Ir HaYayin school. The published information says she has 17 years of experience in education and previously worked as a mathematics teacher, homeroom teacher and grade coordinator at Ort Makif A in Ashkelon. Green will replace outgoing principal Yochi Turgeman.

Practical takeaway: before buying a ticket, check the date, age limit, price and entry rules on the organizer’s page. The marina information describes planned modernization, so timings and individual stages should be confirmed with Ashkelon’s Economic Company; parents can direct school-related questions to the municipal education administration.
