The Greater Chicago Jewish Folk Festival, founded by Michael M. Lorge, is the largest Jewish cultural event in Chicagoland and the longest running Jewish Festival in America, bringing the community together for a day of music, art, food, and family activities. The festival features a diverse lineup of performers, including renowned artists such as Theodore Bikel, Lisa Loeb, and Peter Yarrow, and is funded through foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, private donations, and entrance donations.
Produced by the Jewish Production Organization for Cultural Events and Theater (Jewish P.O.C.E.T.), the festival is a community-driven event run by an all-volunteer Steering Committee. With a focus on promoting Jewish music and cultural heritage, the festival aims to create a vibrant and inclusive space for individuals and organizations to come together and celebrate Jewish traditions and creativity.
