- **Event Name**: The Klezmatics: Happy Joyous Hanukkah
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 06 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This December, The Klezmatics — the world’s most celebrated klezmer band — return with their beloved Happy Joyous Hanukkah Tour. As candles are lit across the country, The Klezmatics honor both Jewish tradition and bold musical reinvention.

For nearly forty years, The Klezmatics have been transforming klezmer from nostalgic memory into a living, breathing, revolutionary art form. And nowhere is that spirit more alive than in their legendary collaboration with Woody Guthrie. There, his long-lost Hanukkah lyrics were brought to life in the band’s iconic 2006 album Happy Joyous Hanukkah.

In 2025, that album will be reissued in a beautifully remastered vinyl edition, just in time for the holiday season. Audiences will once again dance to Guthrie/Klezmatics favorites like “Hanuka Gelt,” “Spin Dreydl Spin,” and “Happy Joyous Hanuka”. Here, the band brings the songs back to the stage — full of warmth, humor, and Yiddish soul.

But this year’s tour isn’t only about tradition — it’s also about what comes next. The Klezmatics will release their fourteenth studio album, The New York Sessions, in early 2026. Thus, this Hanukkah tour will feature exclusive live premieres of brand-new material. These new songs continue the band’s legacy of addressing contemporary themes — from migration and solidarity to joy, resistance, and renewal. Moreover, they explore these themes through the ecstatic power of Yiddish-rooted music.

The result is a Hanukkah concert like no other: a celebration of light in dark times. Here, ancient stories meet new melodies, and community is built through dance, laughter, and shared song.

Whether you’ve been following The Klezmatics for decades or you’re lighting your first menorah, this tour is for you.
