Families and community members of all ages are invited to celebrate Hanukkah in a new and festive way as Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County sponsors a Festival of Lights celebration at the Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society on December 6, at 6 p.m.

Held as part of the zoo’s annual Zoo Lights holiday experience, the evening will bring the community together for a menorah lighting, festive music, and kosher food and beverage options, all surrounded by thousands of twinkling holiday lights. Guests are also encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy for a Holiday Toy Drive that will be donated to Place of Hope to help brighten the season for local children and families.

The celebration offers a unique opportunity for families and friends to share in the joy and traditions of Hanukkah while experiencing Zoo Lights: Magic in the Wild, which features glowing bioluminescent pathways, a polar wonderland, illuminated fountains, festive tree shows, and more.
