About the "Beit Galim" festival
The Beit Galim Festival is an "open houses" event that takes place in the Bat Galim neighborhood and allows the general public to get to know the picturesque neighborhood, located on the Rosh Carmel beach in Haifa
At the "Beit Galim" festival you will find art exhibitions held in private homes and public buildings.
In addition to art, the festival hosts music shows and free guided tours, on walking routes that pass through the historic stone houses and special houses in the Bat Galim neighborhood.
The tours present to the general public the rich past and present of the Bat Galim neighborhood in the field of art, literature and poetry.

The Beit Galim festival has exhausted itself. There is a minority of users despite the large investment, the neighborhood is emptier than in previous years but the noise and nuisances have reached a peak.
For so few visitors, the sidewalks had to be scrubbed at 6:30 a.m. on Hol HaMoed (something that happens once a year just before the mayor's speech from the stage).
The festival only benefits the pub which is a nuisance to the neighbors all year round.
It is a shame that the same sums were not invested in improving the neglected neighborhood and the crumbling beach facilities.
Maybe everything is aimed, we need to see who is safe from the mess. Nuisance establishment and neglect serve investors looking to buy cheap. We need to see who in the municipality (executives, elected officials and their associates) invest in the neighborhood "follow the money"!
