Jaffa Port to Host Three-Day Fair Supporting Northern Businesses

Starting Wednesday, June 17, and running for three days, Jaffa Port will host a special “Heart with the North” fair in Warehouse 2, organized by N12, the news brand of Keshet 12, and Jaffa Port Company. The event is intended to provide direct support to businesses from the conflict line, the Galilee and the Golan Heights that were hurt during the war.

Dozens of farmers, artists, manufacturers and lodging providers will sell their products directly to the public, without intermediaries. The fair will feature food stalls, seasonal fruit, honey, jams, olive oils, chocolates, cheeses, fresh meats, cosmetics, aromatic oils, jewelry, ceramics, stained glass, fashion, accessories and vintage items.

The fair will be accompanied by a live broadcast from a special N12 position at the port, with Guy Varon and Almog Boker. The initiative grew out of Boker’s “Helping Businesses in the North” segment, which assisted more than 1,000 businesses during the fighting.

Jaffa Port director Kobi Yerdani said the port sees itself as a public space that connects people and communities. “It was clear to us that we wanted to take part in the effort and open the port gates to strengthen the businesses and communities in the North,” he said. The event will run in Warehouse 2 near the Container House, with opening hours on Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., Thursday from noon to 11 p.m., and Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
