Sukkot in Jerusalem 2026
Sep 25 – Oct 4, 2026 · updated daily
Sukkot is the peak of the Jerusalem year: the city fills with festivals, the Jerusalem March, the Priestly Blessing (Birkat Kohanim) at the Western Wall, Hakafot Shniyot celebrations, and Chol HaMoed activities for the whole family.
Chol HaMoed Sukkot is the busiest week of the year in Jerusalem — tens of thousands of visitors arrive in the city. Book accommodation and tickets in advance, and get to the main events early. Most attractions run special holiday programs.
