The 8th annual Knoshville: A Jewish Food Festival brings together all Jewish community organizations in the Knoxville and Oak Ridge area to share a variety of Jewish-themed cuisine with our greater community. The event’s name is a play on the Yiddish word “nosh,” which means to snack or nibble. 

This one-day event provides a flavor of Jewish and Israeli food and culture. We welcome you to come for the food and bring your kids to play in the Kid Zone, a beach-theme party with inflatables.

Visitors will have an opportunity to taste a wide variety of traditional Jewish and Israeli foods from sweet noshes such as Bundt cakes, mandelbread, and kugel to savory noshes like couscous with vegetables, grilled tuna pita, and challah from our community organizations and vendors.

Free parking and a shuttle service will be available at 6616 Deane Hill Drive and at the Bearden Branch Library at 100 Golf Club Road. Accessible parking will be available at Arnstein Jewish Community Center at 6800 Deane Hill Drive.

Tickets for food, drinks, Kid Zone wristbands, and Hebrew Tennessee t-shirts can be purchased online here or at the event. A suggested ticket purchase is $15 per person, and cash and card are accepted at the event. Checks will be accepted for the t-shirt and Bundt cake sales.
