From the moment the gates opened at Landers College for Men, the air buzzed with anticipation and excitement. Attendees were treated to a delightful array of entertainment. Bouncy houses, thrilling rides, carnival games, and whimsical balloon animals provided endless fun for all. The carnival ambiance came alive with the sweet aroma of cotton candy and snow cones, adding to the festive atmosphere that fostered connections among people from various backgrounds.
The presence of Mayor Eric Adams added an extra layer of excitement to the Jewish Cultural Carnival.
