It is the Jewish holiday of Purim this weekend. It is to commemorate the deliverance of the Jews in Persia by Queen Esther.
To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed,
according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them,
and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed,
the matters of the fastings and their cry.
Esther 9:31
But in Tel Aviv, Israel, the Jews there have a weird custom for such a holiday.
"In honor of Purim, Tel Aviv is hosting its annual Tel Aviv Purim Zombie Walk.Israelis are getting their costumes ready for the annual event, which is taking place throughout the city’s streets on March 14th.This year for the first time, the event will take place during day time to allow onlookers to enjoy the festivities, gathering at 12:00 at the corner of Ben-Zion Boulevard and King George (Near the Dizengoff Center)." tlvFaces
IF Esther knew how her people were celebrating Purim, (their deliverance by God from the Persians), by holding a ZOMBIE WALK annually, she would roll-over-in-her-grave (that's a figure of speech).
