In five days, the annual celebration of Hanukkah will begin, and festivities will be held throughout the city. Each year, the holiday (also known as Chanukah) falls on eight days and nights at the end of November or early December—coinciding with the 25th day of the Hebrew calendar’s month of Kislev.
This year in Oklahoma City, there will be two special events on Nov. 28 and Dec. 2, both organized by the Chabad Community Center.
On November 28, the first night of Chanukah, there will be an expose of exciting entertainment in Scissortail Park. Throughout the evening, attendees will enjoy traditional foods, a visit from the Dreidel Man, special treats for kids, a giant menorah lighting and a special performance from Kyle Dillingham and Horseshoe Road.
Adding to the warmth and festivities surrounding the Hannukah holiday, there will be a Car Menorah parade on Thursday, Dec. 2. All vehicles will line up at the Chabad parking lot at 5 p.m., and the procession will begin at 6 p.m.
The parade will be police-escorted and there will be prizes for decorated vehicles. The vehicles will end their route in Bricktown at the Joe Carter parking lot, and individuals will be invited into the Ballpark to witness a menorah lighting at 7 p.m. It will be a special and unforgettable evening for all who participate.
You can register for either (or both) of the Hanukkah events here.
