Every year, several organizations present Hanukkah celebrations for the community in the Charlotte area. These events are family friendly and most are free.
Events include parties, Menorah lightings, and even a Menorah Car Parade. (Check back soon for that one!)
Some of the events include free food. Traditional foods to eat on Hanukkah are potato latkes (potato pancakes), doughnuts and chocolate gelt (candy.)
Hanukkah begins the evening of Sunday, December 22nd, 2019, and ends the evening of Monday, December 30th.
