The story

Jericho Spring Festival in Jericho

No source specifically named Jericho Spring Festival was confirmed, but Jericho and its surroundings host the Nabi Musa festival, a real, centuries-old Islamic pilgrimage tradition held in spring, ending at a shrine in the desert near Jericho. This entry likely refers to that established festival or a related seasonal event rather than a separately branded Jericho Spring Festival.

Jericho, widely described as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, sits near one of Palestine's oldest surviving religious festivals, even though no source specifically confirmed an event called Jericho Spring Festival.
