Bellaire families gathered in Bellaire Town Square on Monday night to celebrate Chanukah “under the big top” together.

Chanukah at the Circus, sponsored by The Shul of Bellaire, included circus carnival crafts, cotton candy and other circus-themed treats, a dinner buffet, an outdoor circus magic show, a giant popcorn menorah and, of course, a menorah lighting. Mayor Dr. Phil Nauert and Mayor elect Andrew Friedberg both greeted the crowd and wished everyone Happy Chanukah. Students from Bellaire Hebrew School performed and set a festive tone for the event.

Happy Chanukah to all of those who are celebrating!
