Saratoga Springs — The annual fun-filled Community Purim Carnival will be held 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, March 16.
The festivities, presented by Temple Sinai, will take place in the Coesa Room of the Roosevelt 2 Building at 37 Roosevelt Ave. in Saratoga Spa State Park. Families and children from the community are welcome to join the program for youngsters of all faiths.
Purim is a holiday celebrating a biblical story about overcoming racism and oppression. It’s traditionally celebrated with costume and revelry and has been called “the Jewish Mardi Gras.”
The local event will feature more than 15 interactive games and activities, including dance parties, a photo booth, crafts, face painting, wooden “pony” rides, snacks and carnival games with prizes.
Wristbands for unlimited games and activities are $10 each. Pita & hummus, popcorn, cotton candy, snacks, and beverages will be available for purchase.
