West Hartford Hanukkah Event Adopting Drive-In Format

WEST HARTFORD — Coronavirus concerns have prompted organizers of the popular annual "Fire on Ice" Hanukkah celebration in Blue Back Square to adopt a drive-in event format for 2020.

This year's event is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Dec. 13 at the West Hartford Town Hall parking lot.

Those attending are now being asked to remain in their vehicles and watch the event on a large LED display.

A large ice sculpture Menorah will also be featured.

Each car will receive a Hanukkah kit with a Menorah, games, crafts, cookies, a puzzle and gelt. Drinks and donuts will be available during the evening as well. American Chassidic singer Benny Friedman will perform live on stage.

Rabbi Shaya Gopin of Chabad House of Greater Hartford billed the event as the largest Hanukkah event in the state.
