GAME OF SKATE 🛹

Friday: Thrash Addiction crew brings skater’s paradise to Teder

Teder and Thrash Addiction are turning Beit Romano into a skate playground this Friday, with a custom ramp, open-call trick competition and live sets all afternoon. Thrash Addiction has been part of Tel Aviv’s skate, punk, hardcore and DIY culture since 2004, so this is their world crashing into Teder’s iconic courtyard.

The public trick contest is 18+, registration is on-site and spots are limited – get there early if you want in. 👉 Find more info and more events on the Secret Tel Aviv App.

TAKI TOURNAMENT 🎲

Saturday: A family Taki tournament at Schnitt with the man who started it all

Schnitt Brewing Company is hosting a very Israeli Taki Tournament this Saturday, with special guest Haim Shafir, the legendary Israeli game creator who invented Taki back in 1983! Expect a festive afternoon of competitive card-slamming, prizes for the winners, and at least a few family arguments. The first session is already sold out, but there are still spots available for 15:00. Entry is just 5 NIS per participant. 👉 Check out Schnitt’s page on the Secret Tel Aviv App for full details, more events, Happy Hour info and special Secret Tel Aviv Deals.

FREE JAZZ NIGHT 🎷

Saturday: A perfect summer evening with Beit Haamudim at Park Hatachana

Summer isn’t quitting, and neither is the Beit HaAmudim jazz series at Park HaTachana. This Saturday, the free sunset sessions return with Quinta Ensemble, led by Chen Levy, reimagining Israeli classics – from Shoshana Damari to Corinne Allal – through a sophisticated jazz lens. Expect heavy groove, hot improv and a properly relaxed August evening on the grass, with Ishay Belaga keeping things moving before and after the show with jazz, soul, funk and hip-hop on vinyl. Come early, grab a drink from one of the nearby bars and find a good spot. 👉 Find more info and more free events on the Secret Tel Aviv App.

Starting Tuesday: One of Tel Aviv’s cultural OGs is turning 70

Founded in 1955 by poet Avraham Shlonsky, Tzavta has spent seven decades being a home for Israeli theatre, music, comedy, literature and political conversation, and its stage has been the starting point for some of Israel’s biggest artists. Now they’re celebrating with the month-long Freedom to Create festival, bringing dozens of concerts, plays, films, exhibitions, talks and special performances throughout September. The lineup jumps from Esther Rada, Dikla, Jimbo J and Tziporela to Arabic theatre, political discussions, queer cabaret (pic above) and even a Madonna-inspired fashion + protest night. 👉 Check out the full programme here and more events on the Secret Tel Aviv App.

LA NUIT DE LA PHILOSOPHIE 🇫🇷

Next Thursday: French Embassy’s annual philosophy night is back for its 10th year

Next Thursday, the 10th edition of La Nuit de la Philosophie is coming to Tel Aviv, bringing together more than 2,000 people, 100 speakers and 37 debates across 8 venues for one very big night of ideas. This year’s theme asks a pretty huge question: after nearly three years of war, how do we rebuild, and rebuild ourselves? The night will bring together philosophers, writers, artists and other thinkers for conversations about how we imagine and reinvent the future, starting at 6.45pm at the French Institute and venues around the city. 👉 Check more info and more unique events on the Secret Tel Aviv App.
