Thanksgiving Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Tree Lighting, Wagon Rides, and Holiday Stories, November 23-27

I'm not even hosting Thanksgiving this year, but somehow I am still overwhelmed with the size of my ever expanding to-do list. Still, I'm planning to set aside some time with my kids to revel in the joys of the season, whether at a special story time, a tree lighting ceremony, or even a special Thanksgiving-themed jump session at one of our favorite indoor activity centers.
For more options check out our constantly updated Event Calendar and our November Go List. Have a wonderful holiday week!
