Menorah Lighting Ceremony and Hanukkah Skate

Celebrate the Festival of Lights in New Albany with the community menorah lighting ceremony at Rose Run Park! Join us at 5 p.m. as rabbis lead traditional blessings, a children’s choir performs traditional songs, and the community gathers for a countdown to light the menorah. Enjoy free hot beverages and kosher donuts during the ceremony.

Before the lighting, head to the Hinson Amphitheater for Menorah Skate from noon to 4:30 p.m. Families can enjoy festive skating, take a photo with a skating dreidel, decorate a dreidel, and play traditional games for chocolate coins. Admission is $15 per person and includes skate rental and all activities. The ice rink will remain open until 8 p.m.
