5 Things to do This Thanksgiving Weekend in Baltimore
A Local’s Guide to Entertaining the Inlaws after Thanksgiving Dinner
Do you have family coming to town for the holiday? Show off your city while they’re here! With seasonal events and pop ups happening, there’s lots of fun to be had. Here’s our top picks for what to do on the waterfront to fight off the tryptophan.
Christmas Village
This festive pop up market officially opens for the season on Thanksgiving day! The hours are 12-5pm on Thanksgiving, and they are open normal hours the rest of the weekend (check out their hours here). This annual holiday tradition in the Inner Harbor is a great way to get in some steps, check out iconic waterfront views, and maybe even do a little early shopping.
Inner Harbor Ice Rink
The ice rink will be open 12-10pm on Thanksgiving, and it’s a great place for the whole family! Skaters of all ages and skill levels are welcome on the ice. Whether you’re working up an appetite or shaking off the post-dinner stupor, a skate is always a good idea.
