Annual Chanukah Festival and Menorah Parade

Annual Chanukah Festival and Menorah Parade — First Day of Chanukah — Tuesday, December 12 from 5-9 p.m.

Chabad of Western PA and Bnai Emunoh Chabad of Squirrel Hill have partnered with The Waterfront Shopping Center to celebrate the Festival of Chanukah on December 12 under the Homestead Grays bridge at The Waterfront. The festival will run from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. and will include a heated tent with food vendors, games and activities for the kids and a special grand menorah lighting. The event will be preceded by the annual Menorah Parade in Shadyside, featuring nearly 100 vehicles adorned with menorahs.

The festival’s headliner from 2016, 8th Day (a popular Jewish-Chassidic rock band) is back again this year to rock the celebration after the lighting, performing some of their greatest hits for festival goers.

This event is free and open to the public.
