The National Menorah will be lit tomorrow to mark the first night of Hanukkah.

Located on the Ellipse in front of the White House, the Menorah will be lit at 4 p.m. Gates open at 3:15, and tickets are required for the general seating area. Despite what the website says, tickets can still be ordered and picked up today and tomorrow, according to a spokesperson.

The lighting ceremony will feature a performance by the Air Force Band and violinist Miri Ben-Ari. “A senior administration official will be the special guest,” according to a release. There will also be hot latkes, donuts, personal menorah kits and dreidels.
