Community Calendar

Jewish Nevada, the representative organization serving more than 70,000 Jews throughout Nevada, invites the community to celebrate Jewish culture, food and music at its 5th annual Milk & Honey Jewish Cultural Festival on Sunday, Aug. 30, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the McKinley Arts & Cultural Center, 925 Riverside Drive in Reno.

The free, family-friendly festival welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the richness of Jewish culture through live entertainment, culinary demonstrations, local vendors and interactive activities. Inspired by the biblical phrase describing Israel as "a land flowing with milk and honey," the festival celebrates community, tradition and hospitality.

This year's festival will feature a live musical performance by acclaimed Jewish country artist Joe Buchanan, whose blend of country music and Jewish storytelling has earned national recognition. Guests can enjoy authentic middle eastern recipes inspired by the internationally renowned Israeli restaurant Zahav, which will be prepared by Chefs Mark Estee and Chris Baldwin of Reno Food Group.

In addition to live entertainment, attendees can explore local vendors, enjoy a variety of food offerings and participate in activities designed for visitors of all ages throughout the day. This year, the festival will feature more than 50 local vendors. For the first time, Milk & Honey will also host an Israeli Market, featuring vendors traveling from Israel to offer authentic jewelry, Judaica, artwork, gifts and other handcrafted goods, giving attendees a unique opportunity to shop directly from Israeli artisans and businesses.

Nevada’s Recovery and Prevention invites you to join us in celebrating Recovery Month by registering to attend our R5k Run/Walk & Recovery Celebration. September marks National Recovery Month which is observed to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can empower those with mental and substance use disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives.

NRAP’s R5k Run/Walk & Recovery Celebration is held to promote community health and wellness, celebrate individuals in recovery, and reduce the stigma often associated with addiction. The R5k will provide an opportunity for participants to walk/run in honor of someone they know impacted by substance use, followed by a recovery celebration open to all community members. The post-race celebration is free and open to the public regardless of 5k participation. The celebration will include food, family activities, and local guest speakers and advocates who are in recovery. Community organizations will provide information on local services and present on relevant topics.

Join us for a family friendly festival filled with sweet treats, trick or treating for kids, animal antics and more!
