There have been cocktail, indie music, and hot air balloon festivals in Israel before, but this June will feature the second year of the ever hip-hop festival in the Holy Land.
 
The first week in June, professionals and enthusiasts alike will gather in Ashdod to celebrate five elements of hip-hop culture at the VAV festival: graffiti, DJing, rap, beatbox and dance.

Throughout the three days, free workshops will be held with options for the whole family, from children’s flash mobs to breakdancing lessons–for professional hip-hoppers, master classes will be held the Wednesday before the festival from 10:00-15:00 with advance registration.

 
In addition to opportunities to learn tricks of the hip-hop trade, VAV will feature performances by groups such as Peled and KGC, a street art party, and national competitions. Put in some headphones on the train or blast hip-hop jams in your car as you head to Ashdod to make hip-hop history in Israel.
