HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Interim Palestinian Authority prime minister Rami Hamdallah will participate Sunday in the opening of the 2013 Palestinian Grape festival in Halhoul, a town just north of Hebron.

The Festival committee announced that it had finished preparations for the festival which will last three days, beginning Sunday.

Many different types of grapes will be displayed during the festival as well as the products of women's collective organizations such as embroideries, handicrafts and food.

The Festival will also include popular and folkloric dances as well as other kinds of cultural performances.

Hebron is famous for its grapes, and each year following the August harvest a large Grape Festival takes place in the area.
