Looking for something fun for the kids to do for Thanksgiving besides just watching the Macy’s Parade and football on TV?
Finding family Thanksgiving fun is not that easy to do: the Thanksgiving holiday is focused on reflection, appreciation for the good in your life, feasting, and family. So unlike Halloween, Christmas and Easter there is not that much in the way of organized public activities for the family with a Thanksgiving theme.
Short drives to events in Massachusetts
But because you live in Massachusetts, where Thanksgiving was born, you are in luck!
You’ll have to do a bit of traveling, but there are some first-class events scheduled in MA around Thanksgiving that offer opportunities for you to create some wholesome, meaningful memories for your family.
November 19 – 21, 2010 (the weekend before Thanksgiving)
America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration
Plymouth, MA
The weekend before Thanksgiving is loaded with music, pageantry, history, fun kids’ activities and lots of people in historical costume as the Town of Plymouth, MA hosts its 15th annual “America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration.”
Billed as “history-brought-to-life”, the increasingly popular event features a parade, reenactments of colonial-era life, a harvest festival, a food fair and lots of children’s events in a heated tent.
Turnout at past celebrations has been massive: over 175,000 people attended the 2009 Thanksgiving gala in Plymouth!
This year’s events have been expanded to include Plimouth Plantation and the Mayflower II, making this an ideal way to expose the kids to early American history in a fun and colorful setting.
