Every December the 'Festival of Festivals' takes place in Haifa Wadi Nisnas district, celebrating the Jewish Hannukah, Christian Christmas and Moslem Ramadan holidays.
On December 20, 2008, the Global Peace Festival was celebrated in Haifa, Israel, as part of Haifa city’s Wadi Nisnas annual celebrations.

Altogether, police estimated that some 40,000 people participated in the city annual daylong events that took place in midtown Haifa’s neighborhood.
The diverse crowd was composed of Jews, Muslims, Christians and Druze from Haifa and all around the country. Though it was in mid-winter, a perfect day welcomed families and individuals to the picturesque Wadi Nisnas where multiple festivals activities took place. The crowds began to fill up the streets as early as 10 in the morning. Walking through the narrow streets, numerous stalls were offering colorful tables filled with a large variety of products attracting the crowds.
