## About

Bexley celebrates the inclusive spirit of the winter season with its annual Holiday Tree Lighting and Menorah Celebration along Main Street outside the historic Drexel Theatre. This joyful civic gathering unites families from across the community to celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah traditions. The evening features the synchronized lighting of the community Christmas tree and the giant ceremonial Menorah. Attendees enjoy live choral performances by the Bexley High School Vocal Ensemble, festive brass music, and community sing-alongs. Children can meet Santa Claus, enjoy chocolate gelt and fresh sufganiyot jelly doughnuts, sip warm apple cider, and participate in holiday craft stations making dreidels and winter decorations. Local Bexley merchants provide warm treats and holiday discounts throughout the evening.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Flat, wide sidewalks with accessible curb cuts along Main Street and Drexel Avenue make stroller navigation effortless.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Warm indoor restrooms and family amenities are available inside the Drexel Theatre and Bexley Public Library.
• Age Suitability: Wonderfully inclusive for children of all ages, parents, and community members.
• Sensory Tips: Outdoor street celebration with natural acoustic singing; safe sidewalks allow families to maintain a comfortable distance from loudspeakers.
