Klezfest: Jewish Cultural Festival

KlezFest is set to be the biggest and best one yet! This will not be your typical KlezFest, said Event Coordinator Alec Erlebacher, but a transformed music and food festival, as a number of exciting additions are planned for this event that the community has come to love.

As the only kosher Jewish festival in upstate New York, the entire community is invited to the celebration at the JCC. Delicious food, fun games and activities, and lively music will be the highlights of this event designed to uplift the community and introduce newcomers to Jewish culture.

Attendees can enjoy the weather as the talented Emmy award-winning songwriter and music producer Hughie Stone-Fish emcee’s the festivities. The electrifying musical lineup will feature a variety of artists with Daniella Rabbani and Dan Nadel of The Klezmers headlining the event. Challah, latkes, matzah ball soup, rugelach, and other classic kosher Jewish foods will be on the new expansive menu this year!

Those up for some friendly competitions can sign up for the kugel bake-off, and participate in a blind taste test between Half-Moon and Black & White cookies.

We encourage anyone interested in participating in the kugel bake-off to arrive no later than 12:30pm. All entries must be received by 12:45pm and the bake-off will begin at 1pm.
