South Street Seaport Museum to Celebrate The Holidays With Chanukah Menorah Lighting Activities

Get into the festive spirit at the South Street Seaport Museum on Sunday, December 10, 2023, from 11am-5pm. Take advantage of free General Admission to the Seaport Museum and creative family activities in honor of the annual neighborhood Chanukah Menorah Lighting, which will take place on the Heineken Riverdeck at Pier 17, from 3-5pm.

Aboard the Seaport Museum's 1885 tall ship Wavertree at Pier 16, families and visitors of all ages are encouraged to join in the creative fun by crafting your own baggywrinkle, charming maritime-inspired decorations perfect for holiday decorations, using festive colored yarn. Baggywrinkle, traditionally made from unraveled ropes, is a ships' tool used to safeguard sails from damage.
