Everyone is invited to enjoy the first-ever Hanukkah celebration at the Promenade Mall in Thornhill.

The Festival of Lights Celebration, which includes the lighting of a six-foot Menorah and a selection of traditional Jewish and Hanukkah treats, will begin Sunday, Dec. 6, the first day of Hanukkah.

From 1 to 4 p.m., shoppers are invited to listen to a live performance by local Jewish performers and sample traditional Jewish or Hanukkah fare provided by some of the mall’s specialty food retailers, including the new Kosher restaurant Famous Laffa. Dreidel spinning and Gelt giveaways will also be offered - all on the lower level near the Food Court.

“We recognize that a large portion of our customers celebrate Hanukkah and this year we wanted to pay homage with the menorah lighting,” said Ilene Klein, general manager of Cadillac Fairview’s Promenade, at Bathurst and Centre streets.

“We’re excited to evolve our holiday experience to reflect the diversity of our shoppers and provide a celebratory experience that complements our traditional holiday celebrations.”

Also on Sunday, Dec. 6, pet lovers can bring their furry friends for photos with Santa from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Santa display, also near the Food Court.
