Matisyahu’s Festival of Light NY 2013

Matisyahu is an American reggae and alt-rock musician who blends traditional Jewish themes with reggae, rock, and hip-hop. Since 2006, Matisyahus Festival of Light has been an annual concert during the Hanukkah season. This year, Matisyahu’s Festival of Light in New York takes place on a Saturday in December at Terminal 5.

Normally scheduled in late November and extending into December, the Festival of Light began in New York City, but its popularity now finds Matisyahu performing in upstate New York, Maryland, Boston, Pennsylvania, Maine, and beyond during the course of the nine-day event.

Matisyahu is the headline performer at these concerts, but he also brings in an array of guest musicians to back him up, promising a great night of music for any fan. Previous Festival of Light performers have included artists like Kevin Devine, Travie McCoy, Brett Dennen, and Dub Trio.

Tickets to Matisyahus Festival of Light in New York start at around $40 and tend to sell out early.
