A special Hanukkah celebration will take place 6 p.m. tonight on the Decatur square tonight and will include the lighting of a menorah, music and dancing. Latkes will be served and families will have the opportunity for a photo op with Mr. Dreidel, according to the http://thedecaturminute.com/, a city of Decatur blog.
The Hannukkah season begins Sunday night, Dec. 6 and celebrates for eight days the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after a bloody war for freedom in the second century B.C.
No matter where you are in metro Atlanta or what your tastes are, if you want to celebrate with more than friends and family, there are several public events to join. In addition to this event in Decatur, you can go traditional at a local temple, or try something new such as an Atlanta Beltline Hanukkah walk or a Hanukkah hip-hop party.
