The YMHA in Riverdale is expected to be packed with people for the next week during the Riverdale Jewish Festival of the Arts.
Organizers say the festival is a way to bring the community together. Some of the weekly events include craft shows, concerts and workshops. According to organizers, some of the events are free while others require a fee depending on the activity.
The festival begins December 2 and ends December 10. This is the first year for the festival and organizers hope it becomes a yearly event. Organizers add they will be evaluating the festival to see what works and what doesn?t for the future.
