Lighting Largest Hanukkah Menorahs
Dec 14, 2025 - Dec 22, 2025
Description
Witness the lighting of the world’s largest Hanukkah menorahs at sundown during the Jewish festival of lights. Both Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn and Grand Army Plaza in Midtown compete for that title with their 32-foot-high, 4,000-pound steel menorahs. In both locations, lightings take place at different times throughout the week, so check the website. In Brooklyn, lightings are accompanied by live music, hot latkes and gifts for children.
