This three-day festival highlights the rich Jewish culture found in New Orleans. Cover yourself in the shade of oak trees as you kayak through the bayou into a breathtaking sculpture garden. Let the bright colors of local art and street murals fill your eyes and the melodic notes of live music surround your ears. Treat your taste buds to the spiced heat and buttery sweetness of delicious food as you move through the city's Jewish landmarks, museums, and monuments with friends old and new.
