Two of the most anticipated events on the Nashville/Middle Tennessee Jewish Community calendar return on November 3, 2024!
All are welcome to the 9th Annual Kosher Nashville Hot Chicken Festival PLUS 3rd Annual Jewish Arts & Music (JAM) Festival taking place at the Gordon Jewish Community Center on November 3. The events occur simultaneously on the lower soccer field by the outdoor pool. Gates open at Noon sharp, and if you are planning to come for the Kosher Hot Chicken we recommend you arrive early as chicken will be available during the 12-3pm(ish) window, however the event will continue on beyond that.
Tasting tickets will be needed for team samples, which can be purchased online or at the gates. Before attending the Festival, please join us for the Kosher Hot Chicken Pickleball Tournament, held at the JCC on the outdoor courts by the pool! Learn more about the tournament at nashvillejcc.org/adultsports
JAM FEST will feature Kosher food options – including Kosher Hot Chicken, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (Kosher dairy and non-dairy), and several other food offerings. Rhizome Productions will be offering beer & non-alcoholic beverages for sale.
The Kosher Hot Chicken amateur teams will be on the field along with all the vendors and music stage this year, and we are excited to share that Hattie B's Hot Chicken will be on site with their food truck this year (Koshered by Rabbi Saul). They will be selling full servings and sides.
On the live music front, JAM Festival has another impressive lineup of talent!
