Posted

The Marion & Aaron Gural JCC hosted their sixth annual Succos Fair on Oct. 9, 10 and 12 at Andrew J. Parise Park in Cedarhurst.

“We draw people from all over the metropolitan area,” Stacey Feldman, executive director of the Gural JCC, said. “Thousands of people will be with us to enjoy the beautiful holiday.”

The celebration featured the Chicago Boys, an acrobatic group, on Oct. 9 and the music of Danny Palgom on Oct. 12. There was also an array of activities for children, including face painting, a petting zoo, arts and crafts, rides and bounce houses. And kosher food will be available for purchase from local eateries including Chickies, Lollibop, David’s Pizza and Pizza’le.

“We are very proud to put together three days of a magnificent festival for so many members of our community and the extended community of the metropolitan area,” Feldman said. “Our goal is to have an affordable fair where families can have a great day spent outside while celebrating the holiday of Sukkot.”

What began as a Columbus Day weekend fair, turned into a three-day extravaganza that the entire community can enjoy when children in Yeshivas and Jewish day schools are off from school.
