Participants in the annual event will follow two main routes to the capital’s Sacher Park, where there will be an afternoon gathering, including children’s and family programs, musical performances and dancing.
Despite the cool weather, the municipality has reported that the event is going ahead as usual.
Last year approximately 15,000 took part in the festivities, including participants with varying disabilities, as well as kidney transplant patients.
The police have stepped up security around all of the festive events going on this week in Jerusalem. The public has been asked to use public transport in the area of the march, rather than congest the area private vehicles. Buses to the Old City and the Kotel Plaza are departing from Derech Hebron.
Various major roads in the city center will be closed between 14:30 and 17:30. These include the Ben Zvi Boulevard, Betzalel, Ben Yehuda, Beeri and King George Street, as well as the section of Jaffa Road between Davidka and Tzahal Squares, and other streets in the nearby area.
