About the Northern Rainbow Festival

The annual competition festival of children’s and youth creativity titled Northern Rainbow has been held in Israel since 2011. Thanks to the high level of participants and the professional jury, the Northern Rainbow festival is traditionally a unique opportunity to discover new talents and test the creative abilities of the participants. Young participants get invaluable experience of performing on a real professional stage, learn about the abilities of their peers, and participate in a competitive programme – all of which allows them to develop creative skills acquired at a music school, children’s group or doing their favourite kind of creativity on their own. Participation in the competition festival gives the participants self-confidence and plays a very important role in their creative development.

The main goal of the Northern Rainbow is to provide the young creative generation with the opportunity to show their talent and gain invaluable experience.
The Northern Rainbow is held by Festival Kohavim, an organization specializing in organizing concerts, music festivals, and competitions.
The Northern Rainbow is traditionally held in cooperation with the Municipality of Safed, one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Israel with a developed tourist infrastructure. A well-known confectionery company Natalie makes a great contribution to the festival as a sponsor. The festival is held with the information support of Parovoz radio.
The competition programme of the Northern Rainbow is attended by creative groups from all regions of Israel and other countries of the world, performing in various genres, including vocal soloists, children’s and youth vocal ensembles, choreographic groups, soloists and ensembles of ballet, classical and folk dance, instrumental ensembles and soloists, rhythmic gymnastics, choreographic groups, classical and folk dance ensembles and soloists, string instrument ensembles and soloists, folklore and gymnastic groups and soloists, and children and youth involved in circus art.
The performances of the festival participants are assessed by an international jury consisting of famous artists.
