Join the JCC Denver for the 5th annual Latkes and Lights (and Sufganiyot!) where we are taking the event you already know and love and making it bigger, sweeter, and filled to the brim with oil. Enjoy your favorite traditions such as our signature latke competition with top-tier Denver restaurants, a bounce house, and children’s light room. But this year, we’re adding a delicious new twist: sample a variety of sufganiyot donut holes and cast your vote for your favorite bite. In addition to the delicious, deep-fried tastings, enjoy hands-on experiences and family activities.
What’s included? All activities and food samples are included with your ticket purchase. Children under 2 years old may attend for free and do not require a ticket.
Attire: This year’s celebration will be a Hanukkah pajamaka extravaganzaka! Come comfortable, cozy, and coordinated in your favorite Hanukkah pajamas (or any pajamas you love.)
Community Latke Competition
Have you always thought your latkes are better than all the rest? We invite you to showcase them at Latkes and Lights by registering for the Community Latke Competition. The community will enjoy your latkes and vote on their favorites. Winners will receive a Golden Latke Trophy.
