North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, the Town Board, and the Chabad of Manhasset will be hosting a Chanukah Festival on Sunday, Dec. 10 starting at 3 p.m. at Town Hall (220 Plandome Road) in Manhasset. The event will be held indoors due to the predicted inclement weather.
The event, which is sponsored by North Shore University Hospital at Northwell Health, will feature musical performances including a performance by the Manhasset High School band, a breakdance performance by Emphasis Entertainment, and the lighting of the menorah.
Chanukah, which runs this year from Thursday, Dec. 7 to Friday, Dec. 15, celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem when it is said that one day’s worth of sacred oil lasted for eight days.
Free parking is available in the Town Hall parking lot. For more information, please call 311.
