Chabad of Las Cruces’ 13^th annual Mega Chanukah Celebration was held Sunday, Dec. 18, at Plaza de Las Cruces.

U.S. Congressman-elect Gabriel Vasquez lit the tallest menorah in the region, an 18-foot menorah depicting the Organ Mountains, said Chabad of Las Cruces Co-Director Chenchie Schmukler.

Mariachi Jalisciense performed as did the Odd-Lab with a fire show.
