Proudly celebrating our Jewish identity and building bridges of understanding
This isn't just another music festival – it's a powerful statement about cultural exchange and community building. By partnering with regional and national performers, PJMF will transform Philadelphia into a vibrant hub where Jewish musical expression meets mainstream appreciation.
PJMF welcomes Jewish artists performing music from a wide variety of genres, pushing boundaries and defying expectations.
Creating community through the universal language of music —
where melody transcends prejudice and rhythm builds connection.

What is the Philly Jewish Music Festival?
While the primary market for the Festival is Philadelphia’s Jewish community, PJMF will engage the broader Philadelphia community through a high-profile headlining artist and a focus on local artists and partner organizations.
The Festival also provides an opportunity for local Jewish artists to raise their profile in the community and support their work through ancillary sales (CDs, download cards, and swag) as well as a performance fee.
