OTHER EVENTS

Pilgrim 5K

Everyone's favorite Thanksgiving Day 5K is back for more! The Pilgrim 5K at Thanksgiving Point…a costume run unlike any other! Registration includes your pilgrim wear. An iconic (and historically inaccurate) giant buckle hat or bonnet and a long-sleeved, cotton tee styled to look like a jacket or dress.

The course is marked with iconic pilgrim scenes and culminates with your own finishing moment at Plymouth Rock. Finishers feast on apple cider and pumpkin bars. Top three finishers in men's, women's, and masters recognized. Register early for best prices.

Dia de los Muertos

Join us for the Latin American holiday Dia de los Muertos on October 28 from 11am-8pm at the Thanksgiving Point Show Barn. Legend has it that on Dia de los Muertos, the dead join us as a part of our community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with loved ones. Members of the community are invited to build an altar inviting a loved one to enjoy the fragrance of marigolds and delicious pan de Muerto (bread of the dead). A community altar will be available at the event to write notes or share mementos in celebration of souls no longer on Earth.
