Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah – the Festival of Lights! This eight day Jewish Holiday commemorates the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Macabbean revolt (~2oo BC).
Aside from the family observances of this holiday, there is a local celebration that looks like a really nice way to start the season.
Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax – today from 2:30p-5p; fun activities and a Menorah lighting ceremony and Hanukkah sing-a-long at 4:30p.
Farmers Market Hanukkah Information
Hanukkah starts tonight and runs through December 28th. Happy Hanukkah!
About Mary
Mary has lived in the Hancock Park area for over 20 years - including homes in Larchmont Village and Windsor Square. Mary has lived in some great places in her life - but none compare to the convenience and majesty of our neighborhood. For Mary, the neighborhood has been a wonderful home to her large, extended family...at one time she had family members living on seven different Hancock Park area blocks! Larchmont Buzz is a labor of love - built to celebrate the neighborhood and to elevate the conversation in the area.
