Between those dates, prime meats will be grilled, smoked, and served alongside enticing sides together with Israeli boutique wines at Olmaya, on the Armon Hanatziv Promenade in East Talpiot, Jerusalem. The atmosphere will be casual and all are welcome.

Gourmet dishes with scenic views

Besides the meat and wine, there will be delicious fish and vegetarian fare and international premium beer on tap as well as soft serve ice cream and signature desserts.

There is no entrance fee, and curated plates of high quality meats by HaCnaanit, from Kfar Adumim, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, will be offered at reasonable prices.  The festival is produced by Yaniv Cohen, who founded and managed the Auto-Ochel, or Food Truck Festival, for the past seven years. Olmaya’s exclusive in-house kitchen, Malya, will be providing exciting options for any non-meat eaters.

The atmosphere and prime location - situated on the Promenade with views of the Old City and surrounding gardens - provides an ideal setting for outdoor private and corporate events.
