Egg Rolls, Egg Creams, and Empanadas 2024

  • Museum At Eldridge Street 12 Eldridge Street New York, NY, 10002 United States (map)

Join us on Sunday, June 16, from 12:00 - 4:00 PM, for the Museum at Eldridge Street's 23rd annual Egg Rolls, Egg Creams, and Empanadas Street Festival, a unique and beloved summertime tradition on the Lower East Side.

Celebrate the diverse cultures that give the Lower East Side and Chinatown its identity alongside talented artisans, stage and street performers, and visitors from near and far! Set in front of the Museum's landmark Eldridge Street Synagogue home, the festival takes over one block of Eldridge Street between Canal and Division Streets for a folklore fest unlike any other with a medley of Chinese, Jewish, and Puerto Rican tastes, sights, sounds, and crafts for people of all ages to enjoy!

The street festival event is FREE and open to the public, and egg rolls, egg creams, and empanadas will be available for purchase.

The Festival will take place on Eldridge Street between Division and Canal Streets.

Museum at Eldridge Street is housed in the Eldridge Street Synagogue, a magnificent National Historic Landmark that has been meticulously restored. Opened in 1887, the synagogue is the first great house of worship built in America by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Today, it is the only remaining marker of the great wave of Jewish migration to the Lower East Side that is open to a broad public who wish to visit Jewish New York.

Exhibits, tours, public programs, and education tell the story of Jewish immigrant life, explore architecture and historic preservation, inspire reflection on cultural continuity, and foster collaboration and exchange between people of all faiths, heritages, and interests.

The Festival will take place outside. The Museum will be closed to visitors on June 16.
