LoveLoveIsrael TIPS:
Whether this is your first Yom Haatzmaut in Israel or not...always remember that it is a busy day!
If you want to find a BBQ spot you may have to get someone there super early to secure a space!
For other events that do not require registration - get there early. Even if you have pre-registered, the roads can be busy, so factor that in and expect delays on the roads!
Take care, and drink lots of water and have a wonderful Yom Haatzmaut.
If you are not celebrating in Israel this year - we hope that you will NEXT year!
