The story

Jericho Winter Festival in Jericho

The Jericho Winter Festival is documented in academic and biographical sources from the late 1990s, including a 1999 exhibition by artist Jumana Emil Abboud held at the festival, alongside a Tel Aviv University research paper listing it among Palestinian cultural events of that period. Current, ongoing status of the festival was not confirmed.

The Jericho Winter Festival appears in a cluster of late-1990s sources documenting Palestine's cultural sector, though nothing found confirms whether it continues today.
