Jewlicious Festival will present the eighth annual world-famous Jewlicious Music and Culture Festival from February 24-26th on the historic Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. The nation's largest Jewish weekend cultural event, the three-day festival will bring a hip modern approach to Jewish culture through world-renowned musicians, artists, speakers, activists, and change makers. The eclectic and transformative celebration has been described as a special blend of TED, Burning Man and Jewish summer camp. In past years the popular festival has attracted more than 1,000 Jewish students and young adults from 20 states, six countries, and more than 60 colleges and universities.
Special performers for the 2012 Jewlicious Festival include the phenomenal actress and PhD in Neuroscience Mayim Bialik (Blossom, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Big Bang Theory), the most upbeat band in Los Angeles The Aggrolites (Coachella, Vans Warped Tour, SXSW), and two of America’s funniest men Todd Barry (The Wrestler, Louie, Flight of the Conchords, Letterman, Conan) and Moshe Kasher (2009 iTunes comic of the year, Jimmy Fallon, Chelsea Lately). Amazing musicians Moshav, Wellspring and Dustbowl Revival will be playing sets as well! The festival also will feature many other speakers and educators addressing critical issues including social justice, alternative energy, The Occupy Movement, Israel, and Jewish spirituality and sexuality.
