Hullegeb Israel-Ethiopian Arts Festival 2026

The Hullegeb Israeli-Ethiopian Arts Festival is another unique event from the Confederation House, presenting the Israeli-Ethiopian creativity that has been flourishing recently in music, theater, and dance.

Jerusalem is filling up with groove, rhythm, and deep-rooted culture! The Hulgebub Festival returns for its 17th edition with three days of live music, hip-hop, and dance, presenting a fascinating fusion of Ethiopian tradition and contemporary Israeli creation.

What awaits you?
From a cross-continental opening act to a festive tribute concert honoring the legendary composer Abebe Melesse, from kicking rap to Ethio-jazz and a spectacular, colorful dance performance.

Join us for a true celebration of identity, creativity, and black music at its finest.
