The story

Hebron Grape Festival in Hebron

The Hebron Grape Festival is an annual celebration held in Hebron's Old City since 2003, where local grape farmers display their harvest with the stated aim of boosting economic activity. Beyond fresh grapes, the festival showcases Hebron's grape-based food products, including raisins, grape vinegar, grape syrup, grape fruit leather, grape preserves, pickled unripe grapes, and preserved grape leaves used in stuffed dishes.

The Hebron Grape Festival has been held annually in Hebron since 2003, with Palestinian, regional, and international press coverage of the event across more than a decade.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Hebron is a major Palestinian grape-growing area, and the festival centers on the region's long habit of turning surplus grapes into preserved products rather than only selling them fresh

02

The mystery stays covered

Distinctive local items on show include malban, a chewy grape fruit leather, ainab bikh, a grape jam-like preserve, dried grapes, grape vinegar, grape syrup known regionally as dibs, and preserved grape leaves used for stuffed dishes

03

The city starts moving

Hebron's high elevation, the highest in the West Bank and prone to regular snowfall, also supports a local tradition of mixing grape syrup with fresh snow to make a simple homemade ice cream, a detail that ties the festival to Hebron's specific geography as much as to its agriculture
