## About

Los Gatos marks the second night of Hanukkah 2026 in the open air at Town Plaza Park on December 6, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., when the community gathers to light the Hanukkah candles in downtown Los Gatos. Live klezmer music comes from Dirty Cello, and 'Lights of the Community' honourees from local organisations are recognised during the ceremony. The listing says all ages are welcome and that there is no charge. It is a short standing outdoor ceremony in a small downtown park.
