When it comes to celebrating Hanukkah, Chabad in the St. Louis area likes to go big, as in really big.

Among noteworthy events, there will be a menorah lighting near the Arch and on Historic Main Street in St. Charles, just a stone’s throw away from the Missouri River. In Chesterfield, 100 cars, crowned with menorahs, will dot the streets as they parade through Chesterfield Central Park. A public lighting will also take place at the Market in the Loop in University City.
