LAFAYETTE PARISH
Chabad of Greater Baton Rouge will light a 9 foot public Hanukkah menorah at Parc Sans Souci, on December 15th, the 2nd night of the eight-day Festival of Lights. The community will be joined by dignitaries who will be attending, and the event will feature hot latkes, jelly doughnuts and crafts for children. Complimentary Hanukkah menorahs and candles will be distributed as well for participants to light at home.
“Everyone is especially excited about Hanukkah this year,” said Rabbi Peretz Kazen of Chabad. “People are preparing to celebrate with family and friends, to fill their homes with the light of Hanukkah, and there’s a palpable joy. The public Hanukkah celebration is about sharing this light and joy with the broader community and the entire Lafayette
- A Global Hanukkah Awareness Campaign -
Hanukkah emphasizes that each and every individual has the unique power to illuminate the entire world. It was to encourage this profound idea that the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, launched the Hanukkah awareness campaign in 1973. The menorah faces the street, the Rebbe notes, and so bypassers immediately feel “the effect of the light, which illuminates the outside and the environment.” In the half-century since, the Rebbe’s campaign has brought Hanukkah into the mainstream and altered awareness and practice of the festival, returning what some regarded as a minor holiday to its roots as a public proclamation of the triumph of freedom over oppression and a mainstay of Jewish cultural and religious life.
Throughout the State of Louisiana, Chabad will be presenting several Hanukkah events and celebrations. To find a local event in Louisiana or practically anywhere throughout the world, visit chabad.org/hanukkah

The Lafayette Area Music Teachers Association plans two community events this December and January; both free, family-friendly, and designed to bring music education into the spotlight:
Christmas Playathon | Saturday, December 13, 5-7 PM | Acadiana Center for the Arts
During December’s ArtWalk, we’re transforming the gallery into a live music venue. Local music students will take turns at an acoustic piano, performing holiday pieces throughout the evening. It’s casual, festive, and serves a dual purpose: students gain performance experience while raising funds for disaster relief. Suggested donations ($10) support LAMTA’s programs and the Louisiana Music Teachers Association’s Save Our Students Fund, which helps teachers and students recovering from hurricanes and other disasters across the state.
Music by Black Composers Recital | Friday, January 10
5-6:30pm Acadiana Center for the Arts Theater
This recital spotlights works by Black composers—voices that have been historically underrepresented in classical music. LAMTA members and local musicians will perform solo and chamber pieces, creating a space for community members to experience a richer, more diverse classical music tradition. It’s part of our ongoing effort to broaden what students and audiences hear and celebrate in Acadiana’s music scene.

Ageless Healthcare will host a Christmas Bash on December 18 at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center in Lafayette. There will be free BBQ, bingo, giveaways and music.
