Menorah Lighting with Senator Durbin

This is super exciting!

Kick off Chanukah with a grand lighting of the largest Menorah in Springfield!

We are honored to have Senator Dick Durbin attend and light the leading candle.

Join us Sunday, December 18th, at 3:00 pm at the Old State Capitol Plaza.

This festive event is perfect for the whole family, and includes a special “Gelt Drop” featuring the Springfield Fire Department – something you don’t want to miss!

A special thank you to Starbucks for sponsoring hot coffee for this outdoor event! Traditional Sufganiyot and other Chanukah treats will be served as well.

Don't miss this exciting celebration of Chanukah!

We would like to remind you that Chanukah starts Sunday evening, and we encourage you to light your Menorah at home each evening of the holiday. If you need a Menorah or candles, please reach out to us.

Happy Chanukah!

Illuminate the world with the light of redemption, by performing acts of goodness and kindness.
