Now that the pandemic-induced restrictions have been loosened, New Yorkers can soak in the Hannukah atmosphere this year, as Hanukkah begins on Sunday evening, Nov. 28. Among the numerous local celebrations, here are a select few events you can attend this year!
Visit Brooklyn’s Iconic Menorah: A free event for all, you can witness the lighting of Brooklyn’s largest Menorah by Chabad of Park Slope. The iconic 32-foot menorah can be seen each year at the Grand Army Plaza outside the entrance to Prospect Park. The kickoff party and concert will begin at 4:30 pm on Sunday, Nov. 28, and subsequent candle lightings will take place every night of Hanukkah after that, with music, latkes, and gifts for children.
