June 10: Chicago: The Greater Chicago Jewish Festival
Become immersed in a day of Jewish culture at the Greater Chicago Jewish Festival on Sunday, June 10. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the St. Paul Woods, Cook County Forest Preserve, there will be live music (on four stages, featuring the likes of Corky Siegel, Howard Levy and RebbeSoul), comedy (think improv with a Jewish twist), food (expect a Chicago Kosher barbecue competition) and more. Admission is a suggested donation of $5, and parking is free.
The Greater Chicago Jewish Festival, first produced in 1980, is the longest continuously running Jewish festival in America, and the Forward is a proud co-sponsor. It aims to celebrate Jewish identity, weaving together multiple facets of the Jewish community and creating an outlet for sharing, understanding and tolerance. Friends of other religions and cultures are more than welcome to attend and participate.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
