If you like matzah ball soup, noodle kugel, brisket sandwiches, falafel, or black and white cookies, you’ll want to mark your calendar for the Jewish Food Festival in Monrovia 11 a.m.-4 p.m. April 7.

The Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys is presenting the food-centric event, which will also include music, art and children’s activities.

There will be a wealth of traditional dishes, such as kebabs, gyros, cholent, dolmas, tabouli, hummus, Israeli salad, and bagels, plus treats like challah, apple cake, rugelach, and cheesecake.

There will also be two stages with ongoing entertainment, including music by the band Mostly Kosher and children’s recording artist Jason Mesches, as well as demonstrations of pickle making, challah braiding and soft matzah.

Local artisans will be displaying their work and there will be a Kids Zone with craft projects, a police car and fire truck to explore, bounce houses, places to read to dogs and more. There will also be a beer and wine garden.

The Jewish Food Festival will be held in Library Park, 321 S. Myrtle Ave. Admission is free, but tickets are required for food, beer, wine and most children’s activities. Tickets may be purchased on site or in advance online. For more information, call 626-445-0810 or go to www.jewishsgpv.org.
