THE HANUKKAH BASH AT THE COLONIAL

Hanukkah is a festive time of year when the Jewish people commemorate an ancient victory by lighting a plank of shots on fire and throwing them back, as a group, just as the Maccabees did thousands of years ago. Well not exactly, but our friends at The Colonial like to put their own spin on traditions, and the flaming shot menorah will be in action at their second annual Hanukkah Bash, and it will be a sight to behold. There will also be latkes, and a few other Hanukkah treats are in the works. The night begins with holiday trivia, a dancing of the hora (prepare to be lifted on a chair!), and lots of dreidels and gelt! Chug down that Manischevitz and celebrate the Festival of Light.

Tuesday, December 12 8pm-12:30pm at The Colonial, 56 Court Street Downtown Binghamton. Thecolonialbing.com; Facebook @thecolonialbing.
