Chazaq Carnival Draws Nearly 2,000 Attendees

The Chazaq Annual Jewish Cultural Carnival last week exceeded expectations, creating a joyful and inclusive atmosphere that brought together a crowd of nearly 2,000 attendees. This vibrant celebration of Jewish heritage and culture captivated partic- ipants of all ages with its wide range of attractions and activities.

From the moment the gates opened at Landers College for Men, the air buzzed with anticipation and excitement. Attendees were treated to a delightful array of entertainment. Bouncy houses, thrill- ing rides, carnival games, and whimsical balloon animals provided endless fun for all. The carnival ambiance came alive with the sweet aroma of cotton candy and snow cones, adding to the festive atmosphere that fostered connections among people from various backgrounds. The presence of NYC Mayor Eric Adams added an extra layer of excitement to the Jewish Cultural Carnival. Mayor Adams not only addressed the crowd, expressing his appreciation for the rich Jewish heritage and the importance of cultural events in fostering unity, but he also actively engaged in the festivities. Mayor Adams took a ride on the slide, played carnival games, and even posed for pictures with many guests, creating unforgettable memories for both the attendees and himself.

The success of the Jewish Cultural Carnival was made possible by the generous support of Councilman James Gennaro, who helped fund the event, as well as the partners, including QJCC, JCCGCI, and NYC Cultural Affairs. Their ded- ication to promoting cultural events in the community played a vital role in ensuring the carnival’s resounding success. Chazaq extends its heartfelt gratitude to the volunteers, staff, and participants who contributed to making the Jewish Cultural Carnival a memorable experience. Their dedication and enthusiasm helped create a sense of unity and celebration, aligning with Chazaq’s commitment to providing engaging and inclusive events that honor Jewish heritage and culture.
