Warsaw's annual Jewish Festival - also known as 'Singer's Warsaw,' after Nobel Prize-winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer, who grew up in Warsaw's Yiddish-speaking quarter before WWI - aims to celebrate the city's Jewish heritage and recreate the vibrance of its prewar atmosphere, while showcasing contemporary Jewish culture and promoting tolerance. A truly multicultural, multidisciplinary event, the festival includes international artists in the fields of jazz, pop, klezmer, cabaret, theatre, literature, visual arts and more, performing intimately indoors, on the streets, or on outdoor stages in front of large, enthusiastic crowds. Popular among locals and visitors alike, Singer's Warsaw also includes a range of activities for children and families, and is a wonderful event to get involved in.

This year's events (2024) will be taking place in a range of venues around Warsaw, including the Jewish Theatre, Plac Grzybowski, the National Opera, the Nóżyk Synagogue, Teatr Kwadrat, the Austrian Cultural Forum and the Yiddish Cultural Centre (ul. Andersa 15). Visit their website for the full programme of all performers and events.
