Created by the Catskills Borscht Belt Museum, Borscht Belt Fest celebrates and pays homage to the Borscht Belt’s vibrant past and showcases its legacy and wide-ranging influence on contemporary American culture.
The festival will take place in downtown Ellenville, NY and features stand-up comedy, art, live music, film, educational programming – and of course, food!
Borscht Belt Fest’s street fair, exhibits, musical performances and movie screenings are free. You can purchase tickets for the comedy shows and talks, with the proceeds going to support the non-profit Catskills Borscht Belt Museum.
