After a day’s worth of ceremonies honoring fallen soldiers of Isrsel and victims of terrorism, the night ended with a transitional ceremony put on by members of the shul I attend and included singing, dancing, and prayers to bring us out of the mourning mindset and into a more joyful mindset  for Yom Hatzmaut (Isrsel Independencr Day). 

The rest of the night was filled with parties all over town and crowds of people in the streets having fun.
