Starting and ending at Legacy Village, the 2019 Light After Dark Menorah Parade and Festival will cover approximately nearly 20 miles and pass through Lyndhurst, South Euclid, Beachwood, University Heights, Cleveland Heights and touch Cleveland near University Circle.

The parade will include public-facing speakers playing lively Chanukah music, Lolly the Trolley, a police escort, media, and a large portion of pirsumei nisa.

The first half of the parade will see the expected dozens of vehicles with Menorahs and lively music pass through Jewish residential neighborhoods in Beachwood and University Heights including Brentwood, Timberlane, Green Road near Synagogue Row, and East Carroll. The second half of the parade will see the procession continue through Cleveland Heights including Staunton, Bendemeer and South Taylor Road.

The parade will wind its way back to Legacy Village where there will be a Menorah lighting and celebration open to the community from 6-7pm.

Parade organizers are still looking for families on Bendemeer to put “The Parade Will Pass Through Here” signs on their treelawns. Please email clemenorahparade@gmail.com with your address and a sign will be placed by Thursday. Also, as of this posting, there are only a couple of spots left to participate in the parade but if you’re interested, visit www.clemenorahparade.com ASAP. If you’re interested in joining the Menorah lighting and celebration afterwards, just show up with your Chanukah spirit.
