Local 2025 Hanukkah Celebrations!

December 27, 2024

The Festival of Lights is a beautiful time for families and communities to come together, and there are many ways to celebrate throughout Hampton Roads! ✨

Across both the Southside and the Peninsula, local synagogues and organizations will host public Hanukkah events filled with light, music, and joy. Whether you celebrate every year or simply want to learn more about the holiday, everyone is welcome to take part.

🕯️ Community menorah lightings in cities like Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News, and Williamsburg
🎶 Family-friendly celebrations with songs, crafts, and storytelling
🍩 Traditional treats like latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts!)
🎁 Kids’ activities and games to share the spirit of Hanukkah

Hanukkah 2025 begins at sundown on December 14 and ends the evening of December 22 – and many local events will take place throughout the week.

This list will be updated right through the final Hanukkah celebration as new details are announced. Additions to this FREE Community Listing can be Submitted HERE!

Please note that many events have reservation requirements, and before attending any event on our calendar we recommend visiting the website link found in the individual MyActiveChild.com event listing to confirm it is happening as listed/scheduled.
