TONIGHT!  Menorah Lighting at City Hall 5:00PM
Please join me tonight for a lovely Hoboken tradition of lighting the menorah for the first night of Chanukah.  The weather is warming up and the rain is going away!  This event is free and open to the entire community. For the kids: LED menorah rings or build a dreidel lego kit (I am hoping I will get one of these!), for everyone: delicious, hot latkes, jelly and other filling sufganiyat (donuts), chocolate 'gelt', menorah kits, music and dancing and a great start to Chanukah!

THURSDAY! Christmas Tree Lighting at City Hall – 5:00-7:00PM
Come get join your neighbors to enjoy some hot cocoa, hear local choirs sing Christmas carols, and watch the lighting of Hoboken’s Christmas tree.  I understand there may be a special visit from Santa Claus as well… Click HERE for more details.

And finally… SATURDAY - 3:00-5:00PM on Washington Street
The famous Budweiser Clydesdales are coming to Hoboken to deliver beer to restaurants & stores on lower Washington Street between 1st and 8th!  Apparently it is in celebration of the end of Prohibition.  You can read more about the event HERE!  And you can read more about the history of the horses and there care and activities HERE!
