Portland Jewish Music Festival 2026

We are thrilled to announce the Portland Jewish Music Festival 2026! Now in its second year, this celebration of Jewish musical traditions from throughout the diaspora and Israel will fill EJC for more than a week with top-tier artists from near and far. We are especially delighted to host one of the most famous Mizrachi musicians in the world – Yair Dalal – as a festival headliner. The Portland Jewish Music Festival is quickly becoming not only a tentpole of EJC and local Jewish programming, but also a highlight of the region’s cultural calendar, period. We can’t wait to share these 11 days and nights of concerts, discussions and community joy with you!
