Summer is almost here… and this year we’re bringing back not one, but TWO incredible outdoor community shuks!

The JCC Summer Shuk will bring together the best in cultural arts, performance, music, pottery, food, jewelry, clothing, and DIY masterpieces at the Honey & Barry Community Park on July 5 and August 23. Presented by the JCC, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, and in Partnership with Emet Talks, Bevakasha, Koffler Arts and Kultura Collective, over 80 vendors will be selling their artwork, products, and savory Jewish flavours.

This year’s vision is to bring focus to Toronto’s rich cultural arts and artists who have created incredible pieces that represent our community and culture. From painting, sculpting, pictures, design, and clothing, we’re looking for artisans who want to showcase and sell their work to over 3500 attendees. We’re looking for all types of products and not just art – if you sell books, comics, toys, candy, baked goods, knitting, original wood-working, fruits and vegetables, we’re looking for you too!

Key Features:

  • Main stage with music, playwrites & Demos
  • Food pavilion with lounges, picnic area & unique cultural flavours
  • The Cultural Arts Pavilion in partnership with Koffler Arts, Kultura & Keren Pe’er
  • Jewish entrepreneurs selling pottery, art, jewelry, clothing, toys, comics, and more
  • Liquor and Wine Patio with Kosher distillers from Ontario
  • Family art activations & activities for all ages
  • Happy hour party with DJ, foam party, and prizes
