We’re bringing a live d.j. to the sands of Santa Monica to kick off Hanukkah and Infinite Light! Join us on night one to connect through the art of dance, light the first candle, and take in our beautiful surroundings at sunset.
 
Sunday, November 28
2:30–5:30 p.m.
Santa Monica Beach
 
Hanukkah is all about light, and we’re inviting you to let loose and embrace yours. Let your playfulness shine as bright as our menorahs! Come early to embellish yourself with fun surprises at our shine station, say hi to friends old and new, and grab some nourishing pre-dance party snacks. Then hit the sand with our amazing community member Jennifer Ahdoot, who’ll guide us on a journey of music and movement to let out our inner child and ignite our inner light.
 
Tickets are vailable through November 26 at noon, while supplies last! Sorry, no door sales.
Through November 23: $18 for one ticket + $30 for two
November 24–26: $24 for one ticket + $45 for two
