It's Hanukkah Y'all! Bring your family and friends for a Hill Country-style Hanukkah celebration you won’t forget! We’re taking the Festival of Lights outdoors to the gorgeous two-acre Rainbow Event Center — where Texas charm meets holiday magic.

Get ready for a day packed with fun, music, and Hanukkah joy! Enjoy basketball courts, trampolines, outdoor patio seating, cozy indoor lounges, and a secure “Kids Corral” for our youngest revelers. Dance along to Live Music and join Cantor Ettinger for a lively Hanukkah Sing-Along.

And because no outdoor Hanukkah bash would be complete without a twist — try your luck at the Dreidel-shaped Piñata filled with chocolate gelt!

Fuel up with a delicious lunch from the onsite food trucks — plus a warm, golden fried funnel cake to honor the miracle of the oil, topped your way with chocolate, strawberry, or whipped cream.

Celebrate Hanukkah with lights, laughter, live music, and that unbeatable Hill Country vibe!

Entry for ticket holders, no tickets sold at the door. Parking is free for this private event, please look for the signage to direct you. Some walking may be necessary. Please note the event is outdoors with both covered and indoor areas.

Your Ticket to Hanukkah Fun!

Each entry comes with a festival wristband, giving you full access to everything our Hanukkah in the Hill Country celebration has to offer:

A delicious food plate (1 meal per ticketed person [adult plate for adults and children's plate for children] and vegetarian options available)
Cold and hot drinks to keep you refreshed
A fried sweet funnel cake to honor the miracle of the oil (1 per ticketed person)
Full reign of all activities — from trampolines to basketball courts
A crack at the Dreidel Piñata (filled with chocolate gelt, of course!)
Live music and celebration with your Temple community

Your wristband is your all-access pass to good food, great company, and Hanukkah joy under the Texas sky!
