The entire Evanston community is invited to gather at 5:30 p.m. on Mon., Dec. 19, to celebrate Hanukkah and ignite a public menorah erected at Fountain Square. The celebration will feature greetings from Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss, and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky. The celebration will include live music, a LED robot dancer and Hanukkah treats.

Evanston's menorah is one of more than 15,000 large public menorahs sponsored by Chabad in more than 100 countries around the world, including in front of landmarks such as the White House, the Eiffel Tower, and the Kremlin, helping children and adults of all walks of life discover and enjoy the holiday message.
