Challapalooza is Greater Boston’s Jew-ish Music Festival. It's going to be a giant celebration — a full day of live music by fantastic local Jewish musicians, with delicious food from Jewish & kosher food trucks and fun in the park for all ages.

Enough nosh for all your Jewish-mother needs!

Get in some ice cream before your shwarma with the Boston Ice Cream Truck.

Enjoy delicious local (pareve!) chocolate from a Wild Child Chocolate, made right here in Somerville!

All food will be kosher, and we will have vegetarian and vegan options available.

Lincoln Park

Our beloved Lincoln Park is the home to many a cherished local event, from School of Honk to hanging out on shabbat. Come lounge in the grass, play frisbee and listen to the music!

In case of heavy rain, Challapalooza will happen at an indoor location.

Volunteer Led

Challapalooza is an all volunteer run effort, spearheaded by Akiva Jackson of Moishe House Somerville, with amazing amounts of help from a dedicated group of volunteers, including Heila Precel, Allison Moore, Alison Arnold, Jacob Smith, Jackson Mercer, and many more. Please join us, we always need more people, both for planning and day-of volunteering.

Security

We know many people are concerned about security, and we take this very seriously. We are implementing a comprehensive security plan in consultation with the police and local security experts.
