Get ready, Boulder! The biggest night of the year is approaching, and we have a decade’s worth of reasons to celebrate. JFest returns to the Boulder JCC on Saturday, April 18, from 7:30 – 11 pm. This year is a major milestone as we mark 10 years in our beautiful home on Oreg Avenue.
To honor our past and invest in our future, the Boulder JCC will transform into an immersive, vibrant landscape for adults 21 and older. Best of all, JFest isn’t a typical fundraiser. There is no formal sit-down dinner and absolutely no paddle raise. Your donation of any amount, from $5,400 to $54, is your official ticket to the party.
The Dress Code: “Dress for Joy”
Forget the rigid rules of gala season. At JFest, the dress code is simple: Dress for Joy. We invite you to wear whatever makes you feel your best and brings you the most happiness. Whether that means sparkles, your favorite suit, comfies, or something that simply sparks a smile, we want to see your best version of a 10-year celebration.
A Bold Exploration of Taste
We are pulling out all the stops with our 2026 refreshment lineup, featuring a mix of local favorites and global flavors.
- Savory Snack Stations: Enjoy gourmet catering from Greenspoint Catering and explore four different small-bite stations.
- Signature Sips: Grab a drink at one of our many bars, including
- Sweet Treats: Indulge in dessert bites from Blackbelly, artisanal scoops from Gelato & Co., a variety of caramel corn from Laid off Dad Kettle Corn, and a visit from the whimsical Tiny Cookie Trolley.
Unforgettable Activities & Entertainment
The entire building will be taken over by a massive celebration filled with high-energy games and mindful moments.
- The Anniversary Lounge: Step inside the “A Toast to Ten VIP Lounge,” an immersive VIP space designed for connection and appreciation.
