The evening brings Hanukkah songs, crafts and activities for children in the lit-up square, and it fits naturally with a walk through the free Electrical Spectacle Light Show, which plays every 30 minutes from 5 pm. It runs two hours, so families with young children can drop in for part of it. The square is in Old City at 6th and Race Streets, a short walk from Independence Mall and the 5th Street/Independence Hall subway station. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [Hanukkah Celebration at Sesame Place](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/hanukkah-celebration-at-sesame-place--listing-b52138047d9024ca52b48e6a) — Dec 4 – Dec 12 · Sesame Place Philadelphia, Langhorne · checked Oct 20.
