Citywide festivals
Experiences live here. Reimagining holidays and bringing together visionary thought leaders, co-creators, partners, and enthusiastic fans, our multi day festivals of immersive gatherings create culture and community, igniting conversations and meaningful moments through art, food, and ritual.
COLLECTIVE ESCAPE
Our citywide Passover festival.
In 2016 NuRoots imagined Passover as a weeklong East Hollywood popup, bringing together artists, performers, and young adults from everywhere in L.A., making something personal, local, transformative, new. Collective Escape became a tradition: a week of experiences with beloved partners and friends, reborn each season, year after year.
SWEET RETURN
Our citywide high holidays festival.
Our newest festival, Sweet Return launched in fall 2024 with twelve days of awesome (a Persian Rosh Hashanah seder and feast, a brunch for recent college grads, and Shabbat dinners all over L.A.) and came back in 2025 with Nu Wave, a reimagined Jewish water ritual, and an L.A. mosaic of beloved partners and friends.
INFINITE LIGHT
Our citywide Hanukkah festival.
In 2015 the NuRoots team imagined the first citywide celebration of Hanukkah — a weeklong festival of experiences reimagining the holiday, in every corner of L.A., made by and for Angelenos in our 20s and 30s.
A DECADE OF CREATION
In 2015 the NuRoots team imagined the first citywide celebration of Hanukkah, a weeklong festival of experiences reimagining the holiday, in every corner of L.A., made by and for Angelenos in our 20s and 30s. We called it Infinite Light.
11 years, hundreds of events, and thousands of guests later, our festivals are brighter than ever. Joined by Collective Escape in 2016 and Sweet Return in 2024, our multi day festivals of immersive gatherings have become L.A. traditions.
