A common sight at this time of year, as a sailboat, just off the beach, heads south for the winter. Too bad they’ll miss out on Thanksgiving Weekend in Avalon & Stone Harbor!
THANKSGIVING WEEKEND is here! After you’ve enjoyed your turkey, head to the Avalon & Stone Harbor business districts on Friday and Saturday for all kinds of holiday fun! In Avalon, Festive Friday & Snowfest Saturday bring dozens of holiday activities, and Stone Harbor’s A Christmas Story does the same. From music and tree lightings to photos with Santa and a Christmas Parade, Thanksgiving Weekend is one not to be missed! See below for the lineup of weekend activities. Most shops and restaurants will be open, too!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU & YOURS! Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving, and a wonderful start to the holiday season!
