Larchmont Chanukah Walk On Stride For This Weekend, Chart Your Course

LARCHMONT, NY — Following last year's successful inaugural event, Larchmont's second annual Chanukah Walk will offer even more of a good thing.

Although they are usually open to everyone, public menorah lighting events can be a little intimidating to those without a complete understanding of the observance — a relatively new tradition is helping to bring the celebration to the wider community in Hudson Valley towns and villages.

Now that the map has been released, excitement is mounting for the second annual Larchmont Village Chanukah Walk this Sunday. Everyone, young and old, is invited to join in the fun.

The festivities begin at 1:30 p.m. with many indoor and outdoor stops around the village downtown area.

Bring your children to collect Chanukah swag, treats, balloons and make some crafts. New additions this year include a giant dreidel bounce house, Chanukah Music Academy, a horse-drawn carriage and a balloon artist.

At 3:45 p.m., partygoers will head towards Constitution Park where they will watch the carving of an ice menorah, get some latkes and donuts, and light the menorah at 4:30 p.m. with hundreds of families in the community.

Newly elected Mayor of Larchmont Sarah Bauer and Town of Mamaroneck Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney will share greetings.

Children and adults have 3 options:
1) Sign up at the Larchmont Chanukah Village website (recommended).
2) Come to the starting point at 10538 Bicycles, located at 146 Larchmont Ave.
3) Join the menorah lighting and festivities at 4 p.m.
