Thanksgiving Events and Things to Do
Over the river and through the woods… Check out these fun Thanksgiving events in Maryland throughout the month of November.
From glittering floats and marching bands to 12-foot inflatable turkeys, and Santa Claus himself, this annual tradition promises a vibrant celebration for the whole family. The parade kicks off at 10 a.m. from Ellsworth Drive and Fenton Street and travels south on Georgia Avenue, ending at Silver Spring Avenue. Rain or shine, it’s the perfect way to usher in the holiday season.
Beginning at 9 a.m. cars will line up at the Perry Cabin Ball Fields. At 10:30 the parade will proceed down Talbot St. and finish at E. Marengo St. at the Classic Motor Museum where refreshments will be enjoyed.
Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in this biting satire, as a troupe of performatively “woke” thespians scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month without any cultural stumbles.
Get off the couch and get your heart pumping at these Turkey Trots all across Maryland. These races are a great way to spend your morning, work off a few extra calories, and help great organizations like the Y of Central Maryland!
In Maryland, we’ve got a lot to be thankful for, but nothing more than our beautiful horses, our four-legged furry companions, and this land of pleasant living we call home. And for more than 150 years, Marylanders have come together on Thanksgiving to bless our beloved horses and hounds. With riders resplendent in their traditional garb and pups eager to hit the trail, it’s a stirring authentic Maryland tradition.
