Make Your Thanksgiving Gathering More Entertaining 

The historical foundation of the modern Thanksgiving holiday dates back to the First Thanksgiving in 1621, when the Wampanoag people and English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, celebrated a successful harvest with a monumental feast. Four hundred years later, Americans continue to celebrate this holiday with family and friends, hosting an annual gathering and feast fit for a king. 

If you’re hosting Thanksgiving weekend this year and don’t want to churn out the same meal, activities and events as every other year, consider partnering with Seacoast Events to take your Turkey Day up a gigantic notch this year. 

Pre-Dinner Activities 

While some families follow the same routine each year with activities such as watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the first football games of the day or taking part in a local 5K run, your family could enjoy some pre-dinner and post-dinner activities in your yard, including games and interactive events geared for everyone in your family. 

For Small Yards

Get the little ones outside to burn off some of their endless energy before they’re asked to sit at the dinner table for an extended period. Yard games such as Giant Chess, Giant Cornhole, Giant Jenga or Giant Connect Four are a few of the Seacoast novelty games that are ideal for small yards and will attract players of all ages and abilities in a fun competition before dinner. The instructions are easy to follow and many people already understand the concepts from board games at home. 

For Larger Yards or Venues 

Should your Thanksgiving venue offer a larger yard space, take advantage of some of the Giant Games offered at Seacoast. These life-sized games, such as an inflatable Pop-A-Shot basketball game, a giant game of Twister or the age-old favorite Malpractice (Operation), where players take on the role of a doctor, are ideal for larger spaces and are eye-catching as your guests enter your event. 

Post Dinner Activities 

With your family fed and happy, send them outside for more fun and a chance to digest before dessert is served. Compete as a family with Larger Than Life Sports like Axe Throwing, Human Foosball, Field Goal Challenge or Curling. 

These activities are sure to please even the most energetic of your family members. They allow for some fun and a little friendly competition between families. 

Interactive Entertainment

Keep the fun going all weekend with Interactive Entertainment, geared for all ages and abilities. Choose from our game shows such as Faceoff Feud, Challenge, Game Show Mania or Bingo Ball Fun to keep your guests entertained and happy.
