"Samaria needs and loves culture, and artists enjoy coming here," says Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan. "The BDS movement and its like can continue barking but the convoy passes. We'll continue to develop and intensify both the cultural and the communal Samaria."

Israeli artists including Ariel Zilber and Aharon Razel participated in the festival. The thousands of participants also enjoyed musical activities for children, art stalls, street musicians, and more.
