Tips & Advice

  • Head to the Grand Menorah next to the Wellington Amphitheater, the event's listed location, rather than relying on the venue name alone.
  • Arrive a little before the 5:30 p.m. start so you can find the gathering area before the ceremony begins.
  • Bring a light layer for the outdoor evening gathering in case the weather cools after sunset.
  • Keep young children close during the gathering so they can comfortably watch the menorah lighting.
