The festival intertwines the sounds, sights and tastes of Jewish culture and celebrates Jewish identity.

There are four stages of music and dance, a juried art fair, a children's activity fair, a strictly kosher food fair and an organization fair with more than 100 organizations.

Headliners include: Corky Siegel, Howard Levy, RebbeSoul, Capaim Band, Rabbi Joe Black, Guy King, Maxwell Street Klezmer Band and Listen Up A Capella! New for 2018 are "ComedySportz," featuring improv with a Jewish twist, and Chicago kosher Barbecue Competition.

Come and meet Rabbi Tom Samuels and other McHenry County Jewish Congregation ambassadors to learn about suburban Jewish life and how MCJC members make connections.

Members are from Algonquin, Arlington Heights, Cary, Crystal Lake, Elgin, Gilberts, Hoffman Estates, Huntley, Lake in the Hills, and Woodstock, and other Chicago areas. It's the largest Jewish cultural event in the Chicago area.
