The Khader Grape Festival is a grape festival held annually on September in the Palestinian town of al-Khader near Bethlehem. It was established by the town municipality with the purpose to promote the town's primary crop — the grape. The festival is characterized by exhibitions of grapes and homemade grape products such as dibs (molasses made from grapes). Other exhibitions include embroidery and knitting, a local heritage exhibition of mills, grinders, and harvest tools. Several cultural events, such as poetry recitals, folk songs and dabke are held at the festival.[1] Several other Palestinian villages hold agricultural festivals for their main crop, such as Jifna and its apricot festival and Artas and lettuce.
