Thanksgiving Events in the Triangle

17 events • Updated Nov 13, 2026 at 11:25 AM EST

Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill are ready for Thanksgiving 2026! Below: Thanksgiving Eve parties, turkey trots, restaurant dinners and buffets, Friendsgiving gatherings, holiday shows and family events happening soon.

Some of these are a little bit of a drive, in areas we do not typically cover - but they are worth checking out.

The events on this list are family-friendly. Some require tickets or advance reservations, so check the dates and details before you go.
