Description: Israel's Independence Day Festival, at Woodley Park in Van Nuys. The 46-acre, tree-lined recreational park is located between Victory and Burbank Boulevards, and adjacent to the 405 Freeway. Yom HaAtzmaut, Israel's Independence Day Festival is a community wide event initiated in 1989, which has become a well-known and prominent event in the greater Los Angeles area. This Festival has grown to attract over 45,000 people and includes non-stop entertainment: fashion shows, carnival rides, 200 booths of vendors and Jewish/Israeli organizations, a variety of ethnic food for sale, Israeli folk dancing, arts and crafts, Israeli and Jewish cultural & heritage pavilions and an Israeli art exhibit. In this photo, we see a speaker talking into a microphone atop a stage, which has several banners hanging from it, and the Israeli and American flags displayed below him. Photograph dated April 21, 2002.
