Eastside Jewish Commons, Portland's premiere Jewish Arts and Culture space is proud to present the Portland Jewish Music Festival, a dynamic multi-event celebration of Jewish music, bringing together world-class musicians, local talent, and diverse musical traditions from across the Jewish diaspora. The festival will take place two week-ends in May, May 8th-11th and May 15th-18th at Eastside Jewish Commons

This year’s festival will feature an extraordinary lineup of performances, film, workshops, and and lectures highlighting the rich and varied traditions of Jewish music. From Ladino to Klezmer melodies, Sephardic and Mizrachi rhythms to contemporary Jewish Flamenco Fusion, the festival aims to showcase the breadth of Jewish musical expression and its evolving cultural landscape.

Formerly the Bubbaville Portland Klezmer Festival, this new iteration of the festival, now with EJC at the helm, showcases the best of Klezmer and Yiddish music and also expands the festival to include a week-end focusing on the musical and cultural contributions of Jews of North Africa, the Iberian peninsula and Ottoman lands, and the contemporary fusion of Sephardic melodies with the art form of Flamenco.
