A free handmade fair was held on Tzfania Street
A free evening handmade fair was held on Tzfania Street in Ashkelon with the support of the city administration and Sofi Beilin. It was an open city gathering with music, conversation, local makers’ tables and handmade goods — a format that helps support local small businesses.
The free handmade fair on Tzfania Street became a small city gathering for Ashkelon residents and a platform for supporting local small businesses. Visitors could see makers’ work, talk, listen to music and spend the evening in a calm neighbourhood atmosphere.
Participants’ tables featured jewellery, accessories, original handmade items, soft toys, homemade baked goods, drinks and other handcrafted products. For local makers, it was a chance to present their work close to home, meet new customers and become more visible in city life.
The event was held with the support of the city administration and Sofi Beilin. This kind of format matters for neighbourhood life: it works for a short evening walk, meeting neighbours, going out with family and directly supporting people who create goods and services in the city.
According to the organisers, similar events are planned to be held more often. Future dates should be confirmed separately: the format may become a regular city meeting point for music, conversation and support for local businesses.
