WHYY By (Bigstock Photo) The outdoors and virtual activities prevail as we head into the holiday season. A bonanza of lights greets the celebration of Hanukkah, beginning today, and some beloved annual traditions are still accessible online. Light up the holidays Thursday marks the first night of Hanukkah and Boathouse Row will commemorate the occasion by kicking off their first themed light display of the 2020 holiday season. The historic attraction lights up for Hanukkah from Dec. 10-17. On Dec. 19, the display will change to illuminate for Christmas through Dec. 25 and then from Dec. 26 – Jan. 1 for Kwanzaa. Boathouse Row can be seen from Martin Luther King Drive, which remains closed to vehicular traffic, or from the area directly behind the Philadelphia Art Museum near the Fairmount Water Works.The Betsy Ross House does their Menorah lighting ceremony online Thursday at 4:30 p.m., but it will remain on display through the Hanukkah holiday. You can watch the ceremony here. The Independence Seaport Museum’s annual Parade of Lights is also virtual this year, accompanied by suggestions for family-friendly holiday activities and recipes for cocktails and mocktails. It streams on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m.
