Some 300 residents celebrated the holiday under heavy security of police, IDF and Border Guard forces.
The festive procession left the Kiryat Arba regional council building at 11 am and proceeded to the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
Among the participants were right-wing activist Itamar Ben Gvir, who dressed up as United States President Barack Obama.
Other popular costumes included IDF combat soldier Shimon Weisman, whose house was destroyed during the evacuation of Havat Gilad outpost, and Peace Now director Yariv Openheimer.
As the holiday commands, the participants carried bottles of wine and constantly drank, while singing and dancing. No unusual incidents were reported during the event, though Hebron Police Chief Arnon Friedman confiscated a toy gun from an 8-year-old boy, because it resembled an M16 assault rifle.
