Thanksgiving Feast & Fun
About the Event
Come gobble up the fun and stuff yourself silly. Americans, non-Americans, family, friends, children, and people you meet on the street were all welcome to share in our special family celebration!

THE PARADE
Everyone loves the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, so we figured, why not have one of our own?! Kids and adults alike dress up in inflatable costumes, or can decorate balloons to carry in our very own Thanksgiving parade.
THE CRAFTS
Kids of all ages enjoy a variety of crafts, keeping them busy and reinforcing the message of giving thanks. Each year, we make special crafts the way you made them when you were a kid back in the States.
