Grand Army Plaza Menorah

✓ Verified 2025-2026

The public menorah at Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza is one of the largest in the world and anchors the borough's Hanukkah lighting celebrations. Nightly lightings during Hanukkah add to the season's public displays.

Best time to arrive. Sunset in Brooklyn is around 4:29 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:00 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 32°F, so dress for standing around outside.
