Grand Menorah Lighting

Wellington to Celebrate Hanukkah With Annual Grand Menorah Lighting on December 14

The Village of Wellington will once again shine bright this season as the community gathers for its annual Grand Menorah Lighting on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. The ceremony will take place beside the Wellington Amphitheater, where the towering menorah has become a cherished symbol of unity, faith, and celebration during the Festival of Lights.

Each year, families, friends, and neighbors come together to mark the beginning of Hanukkah with this meaningful tradition. The event includes warm greetings from community leaders, blessings, and the ceremonial lighting of the menorah—a moment that brings together residents of all backgrounds to honor the themes of hope, resilience, and light overcoming darkness.

The celebration reflects Wellington’s commitment to inclusivity, community spirit, and cultural connection. Attendees can expect an uplifting atmosphere filled with music, holiday wishes, and the shared joy of welcoming Hanukkah.

“Chag Sameach” is the sentiment of the evening—a heartfelt wish for a holiday season illuminated by love, joy, and the enduring glow of the menorah. As the lights rise above Town Center, the Grand Menorah Lighting serves as both a festive kickoff to Hanukkah and a reminder of the traditions that continue to bring the Wellington community together year after year.
