21st Festival is Fabulous

DSC_0143It seemed like the whole city of Boulder took a break from their rainy cabin fever and shared a gorgeous — and rare– sunny day on the Pearl Street Mall with Boulder’s Jewish Community on Sunday at the 21st Boulder Jewish Festival.  Thousands strolled up and down the Mall, stopped for the food, the music, the art, and many detoured onto the Courthouse Lawn to visit the more than 30 communal organizations set up there to meet and greet.

Six13, a Jewish a capella group from the east coast with a viral hit, “Uptown Passover,” headlined the ANB Bank Main Stage line-up and packed the Festival tent with fans from all over the Front Range.  They were joined by local favorites Cowboy Hersh, Sababa, The Lost Tribe, A Bisl Klezmer, and wrapping up, the Congregation Har HaShem house band, Or Zimrah.
