Jewish Food Festival

The 7th Annual Jewish Food Festival returns on August 10 & 11, 2025, at Rotary Park in Mequon, bringing together thousands for a celebration of Jewish culture, tradition, and incredible food! With an expected attendance of over 8,500 people, this two-day event offers a diverse and authentic Jewish culinary experience, featuring classic pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, savory knishes, falafel, shawarma, sweet noodle kugel, matzah ball soup, and more.

Beyond the food, the festival features live music, family-friendly activities, and an expanded interactive Shtetl village, where visitors can explore a matzah bakery, leather shop, farm, and more. Attendees can also participate in hands-on experiences like challah making and other Shtetl demonstrations, bringing Jewish heritage to life in a fun and engaging way.

With free admission, the Jewish Food Festival is a unique opportunity for people of all backgrounds to experience, learn, and celebrate Jewish culture through food, music, and interactive exhibits. A project of the Peltz Center for Jewish Life.
