Happy Hanukkah! Cleveland's annual Menorah Car Parades are back. ππ
First, on the first day of Hanukkah, Downtown Chabad hosts a holiday kickoff event tonight in Public Square. The Grand Menorah Lighting takes place at 5:30 p.m.
Then, the 2023 Light After Dark Menorah Parade is set for Dec. 10, the fourth night of Hanukkah, at 4 p.m. The event is a 23-mile parade of cars lit up with menorahs, dreidels and other festive decorations. Taking off from Legacy Village and ending at Severance Town Center, the celebration reaches five communities, including Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, University Heights, Beachwood and Lyndhurst.
"When you have more than 40 cars with big, lit-up menorahs and music blasting, it gets a lot of attention," Rabbi Yossi Freedman of the Chabad of Downtown Cleveland told us in 2018. "Itβs supposed to. Part of the mitzvah of Hanukkah is to let people know about the miracle of the holiday, to help bring light to the darkness."
