The Catskills' funniest legacy gets a three-day revival when Borscht Belt Fest returns to Ellenville from July 24 to 26. Think of it as equal parts history lesson and comedy club, with stand-up, live music, Jewish food, archival exhibits, a kugel cookoff, vintage fashion and enough nostalgia to make your grandparents misty-eyed. Even better, many events—including the Makers Market and Sunday Street Fair—are free, making this an easy excuse to escape the city for a weekend of mountains, matzo balls and punchlines.
