Lights! Camera! Purim!

March 1, 2026Sunday, 9:00 am - Sunday, 12:00 pm

Lights! Camera! Purim! is our biggest, most fun, family-friendly Purim celebration of the year, packed with costumes, laughter, and hands-on activities for every age. We’ll kick things off with our Purim Play, then the carnival fun begins with bigger-than-life attractions and nonstop surprises. Enjoy a special appearance by the Windy City Ghostbusters, explore an inflatable fun house, and take on a unique mechanical inflatable that’s a can’t-miss challenge for kids (and brave adults).

All day long, kids can play ticketed carnival games and win prizes, plus enjoy face painting and temporary tattoos. Want something extra creative? Don’t miss our special workshops: Stop Motion Animation with Taymations and Movie Special Effects with Mad Science. And for anyone who loves art and imagination, swing by the Barbie Dream Art Studio for a colorful, crafty break from the action.

Come dressed as your favorite movie character, grab some treats, make memories with friends, and celebrate Purim with tons of ruach and community spirit. Whether you’re here for the play, the Ghostbusters, the inflatables, or the workshops, this is the kind of Purim that deserves a standing ovation.
