      The event promises a night of fun and festivity for all ages, featuring a vibrant menorah car parade and a celebration at Playhouse Village Park.

      The festivities will kick off at 5:00 pm with a unique Menorah Car Parade, beginning at Chabad of Pasadena (1090 E Walnut St). Participants can enjoy a dazzling display of cars, each adorned with festive lights and symbols of the season, as they make their way through Pasadena to the next event venue.

      At 6:00 pm, the celebration will move to Playhouse Village Park (701 E Union St), where the community will gather for the grand menorah lighting ceremony. In addition to the lighting, the evening will feature fun activities for children, including crafts by Drawn2Art, and delicious holiday treats like hot latkes and donuts.

      This family-friendly celebration is free and open to all, offering a wonderful way for locals to come together, celebrate the spirit of Chanukah, and share in the joy of the season.
