Glowing Hanukkah Pop-Up at Ghirardelli Square

The JCCSF’s Glowing Hanukkah Pop-Up returns to Ghirardelli Square for its 8th magical year — and this time, we’re kicking off the holiday on the very first night! Gather with us as we light the first candle and fill the square with music, creativity, and community joy.

Twirl and dance to the captivating sounds of a live glowing piano, craft unique Hanukkah creations with local artists, spin the dreidel, and indulge in freshly fried donuts while exploring the offerings from Ghirardelli Square’s merchants.

As we enter the darkest time of year, help us kindle the first lights of Hanukkah – wear your most dazzling, glittering, glow-in-the-dark attire and shine bright as we welcome the holiday as a community.
