Make Hanukkah memories at the Skirball! Join us for music, storytelling, food, art making, a photo booth, and a community candle lighting.

About the Program
Gather with family and friends to make new memories at the Skirball! ?Beloved klezmer rockers Mostly Kosher return to headline this year's festival with support from dublab DJ Callie Ryan. Skirball Storytellers bring the Hanukkah story to life with a theatrical performance featuring music and puppetry.

Between performances, take a spin in our Dreidel Lounge, grab a plate of latkes and jelly doughnuts, strike a pose in a holiday-themed photo booth, light up the night with a handcrafted torch-making activity, or join a storybook reading and dance lesson inspired by the game of dreidel. At sundown, join your light with ours for a unique candle lighting that celebrates community and hope.
