Thanksgiving Traditions with a South Florida Flair

Host an Outdoor Feast

Who says Thanksgiving dinner needs to stay indoors? Take advantage of South Florida’s balmy November weather by hosting your celebration al fresco. Decorate your outdoor space with fall-inspired table settings—think warm hues, pumpkins, and fairy lights—to create a cozy yet tropical vibe.

Add a local touch to your menu by incorporating fresh seafood, like stone crab claws or a tangy key lime pie for dessert.

Join a Turkey Trot 🏃‍♀️

Start your day on a healthy and festive note by participating in a Turkey Trot! These family-friendly races, ranging from 5Ks to fun runs, are a fantastic way to give back to the community—many events support local charities.
