We’re about a week away from Thanksgiving, which means the winter holidays are right around the corner. Whether you’re ready or not, they’re just about here. And with the winter holiday season comes the desire to get in a festive spirit. This festive spirit isn’t exclusive to people who celebrate Christmas. If Chanukah is your winter season holiday, you’re in luck. There are several different menorah lighting events across Monmouth and Ocean Counties to get you into that holiday feeling. Some of these lightings are happening during Chanukah this year and some are before. This year, the Festival of Lights is from the evening of December 25th to January 2nd.

Down below, I’ve put together a list of 10 different menorah lightings all across our local area. Go to one or go to a few, just get out with your family and celebrate the season. If you happen to go to any of the menorah lightings on the list, take pictures and tag us on social media! We’d love to see how festive you’re feeling!
