Happening Saturday: Jewlicious Festival in Long Beach

MUSIC

Jewlicious Festival It’s a testament to the breadth of Jewish music that the headliner of the Jewlicious Festival, Matisyahu, can mine dub reggae and a deep sense of irie for inspiration. The 6-year-old festival brings a mix of musicians, actors and professionals together (meet the Noah behind Noah’s Bagel’s) for a klatch of all corners of culture. Alpert Jewish Community Center, 3801 E. Willow Street, Long Beach. Sat.-Sun., various times. (310) 277-5544. https://www.jewliciousfestival.com
