It’s almost that time of the year again.
On Feb. 23, the Georgia Aquarium will once again host the Atlanta Jewish Life Festival which this year will honor the Atlanta Jewish Times’ 100th anniversary. The sixth annual festival will feature a 1920s party theme, including a Roaring 20’s costume contest, big band music, cash prizes, and casino style games.
Tickets are $28 per person, $15 per child, or $89 for a family of six, and include entry into the Aquarium for the entire day. The festival will also include kosher delicacies, an artist market, community partners, swag and more.
The AJLF is Atlanta’s largest single-day festival promoting and celebrating Jewish and Israeli arts, food, music, and culture while connecting the community to local synagogues, nonprofits, and social action groups. The event aims to strengthen community connections to Jewish beliefs, traditions, and family.
AJT owner and publisher Michael Morris said at last year’s festival, “My heart is always filled to the brim as I look out on a room full of Jewish friends, family, business associates, acquaintances, and people I have yet to befriend. Even with the trials of war, hostages, and rampant antisemitism, to see the community come together for food, fun, music and laughter is a powerful sight and counters our enemies’ initiatives.”
Attendees are invited to say, “Cheers to 100 Years” and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Atlanta Jewish Times. The festival will be held in the Oceans Ballroom located on the first level of the Aquarium parking deck. Doors open at 11 a.m. and the festival runs until 3 p.m. Attendees can continue enjoying the Aquarium once the festival has ended.
The Georgia Aquarium is located at 246 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd. For convenience, you can pay for parking online or in-person at the Aquarium parking kiosks located at the member’s entrance or information desk. If you purchase online, you will be asked to scan your parking ticket upon both entering and exiting the parking deck. Parking prices are $15 for Aquarium members or $25 for non-members.
