About this adventure
Celebrate the start of Hanukkah with the Greater Orlando Jewish community at the annual Grand Menorah Lighting at Lake Eola's Walt Disney Amphitheater. The family celebration features the lighting of a giant outdoor menorah against the scenic backdrop of Lake Eola, accompanied by live Jewish music, vibrant Hasidic dancing, and holiday greetings from local community leaders. Children enjoy hands-on Hanukkah craft stations, face painting, and the exciting 'Gelt Drop,' where foil-wrapped chocolate coins rain down from a fire truck crane for kids to collect. Complimentary traditional holiday treats include hot potato latkes and jelly donuts (sufganiyot). The amphitheater features stadium-style paved wheelchair ramps and easy stroller parking.
