The Festival of Lights returns to the heart of Tucson with the 41st annual Chanukah Downtown Menorah Lighting!
The celebration, hosted by Chabad Tucson, is happening from 5 – 6 p.m. on Wednesday, December 25 at El Presidio Park (160 W. Alameda St.). Everyone’s invited for an evening of light, music, and tradition.
At the center of the celebration is Tucson’s tallest Menorah, which will be lit in a grand ceremony filled with song and spirit.
Plus, they’ll be offering holiday treats, opportunities to get crafty, and take-home Menorahs — perfect for continuing the celebration at home.
