Maryland's Tallest Menorah Lit For Hanukkah

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- Tonight marks the start of Hanukkah and hundreds turned out at the Inner Harbor for the lighting of Maryland's tallest menorah!

This is the 6th Baltimore Hanukkah Festival including a fireworks display, a parade of menorah-topped cars and of course the ceremonial lighting of a 32-foot steel menorah.

Hanukkah commemorates the re-dedication of the holy temple in Jerusalem and the fight for religious freedom.
