Challahpalooza is not just a festival, it's a vibrant celebration taking place at Rickover Naval Academy in Portage Park.

Have you ever asked "Are we the only Jews in Northwest Chicago?"

The good news is, you're not! With your help, you'll see just how large our local Jewish family is!

 

Join us on October 12 from 12-3pm for an unforgettable experience filled with joy, kosher food, Jewish music, and local vendors.

 

Our family-friendly event will feature activities galore, including a dedicated kid zone and an adult zone that everyone can enjoy.

 

Don't miss out!
