Cedarhurst Winter Festivities

This winter season in the scenic Andrew J. Parise Park, the Mayor Benjamin Weinstock and the Board of trustees would like to invite you to participate in the Cedarhurst lighting of the Chanukah Menorah and Christmas tree.

“Our Park is the heart of our beautiful Village, and it is fitting to invite the community there to commemorate and share their respective traditions. Each year, the two festivities bring a special joy to our Village since we have an opportunity to learn more about each other’s customs and beliefs.” said Mayor Benjamin Weinstock.

On Sunday, December 10th, at 4:00 PM, we will gather around the traditional bonfire, enjoy chestnuts roasting on an open fire, hot chocolate, and cookies as we wait for our surprise visitor! Carolers from St. Joachim’s Church, St. Joseph’s Church and Our Lady of Good Counsel will lead hundreds in song, and it is recommended that all who attend bring flashlights to read the song sheets that are provided. Mayor Weinstock will continue the exciting tradition of inviting the crowd to count down to the dramatic lighting of the splendid park Christmas tree hosted by the RC Parishes of the Five Towns.

The Celebration of the wonders of the Chanukah miracle begins Thursday, December 7th. For each of the eight nights of the holiday, Rabbi Wolowik of the Five Towns Chabad Center is leading the Chanukah festivities. The schedule for the menorah lighting is as follows: each day will be at 6:00 PM, except for December 8th, which will start at 3:30 PM, and December 10th and the 13th, which will begin at 5:00 PM.
