The Best of a Nation
Main Street America Comes Alive in Israel
The Israel Trade Fairs and Convention Center invites each of the 50 states to show off their best products, industry, tourism, traditions and cultural activities giving a fresh look at modern, home-town America and what its people have to offer. The Israeli public will be able to experience all things American imported right to their front door.
From noon to midnight, Main Street America will present a broad variety of music, performance, gastronomy and crafts. Activities will include open-air shows, cultural exhibitions, food court, marketplace, street performances, Main Street U.S.A emporiums, and participatory activities led by American artists and artisans.
