BORSCHT BELT FESTIVAL

Introducing Borscht Belt Fest, an annual cultural and food event that will make its debut July 29, 2023 in Ellenville, N.Y.

Created by the Catskills Borscht Belt Museum, the festival will celebrate the Borscht Belt era and pay homage to the Borscht Belt’s vibrant past and showcase its legacy and wide-ranging influence on contemporary American culture.

The festival will feature stand-up comedy shows, art, live music, film, educational programming – and of course food.

While the street fair, musical performances, exhibits and movie screenings are free, the comedy shows and talks each require a ticket purchase, with the proceeds going to support the non-profit Catskills Borscht Belt Museum.
