Thanksgiving weekend is here! Have you seen our Thanksgiving Guide to Lake Country for those celebrating locally? It’s filled with tips leading up to the holiday, restaurants, what’s open/closed and how to spend Black Friday and Shop Small Saturday as well as opting outside over the weekend. Be prepared that the weekend’s forecast is calling for rain and snow, so dress and plan appropriately and pray the weather is wrong 🤞🏽 PS. if you are traveling, did you see that you can pack a whole cooked turkey in your carry on luggage? 😲 It’s TRUE!

Speaking of holidays, after Thanksgiving it is on like Donkey Kong in terms of celebrating Christmas (if your family celebrates). There are 4 holiday tree lightings going on Friday – Sunday just this weekend. Plus, there are  2 Christmas parades this weekend as well: Watertown and Menomonee Falls.

Plus, our favorite community event this time of year is finally here: The German Christmas Market of Oconomowoc. We go every year with friends to visit Santa, take a carriage ride, and sometimes win a Masskrugstemmen contest to win a trip to NYC. Maybe that will be you this year! 

To not miss out on the fun, please pin, bookmark, save our HOLIDAY FUN GUIDE. You’ll find parades, tree lightings, all things Santa, Christmas tree farms, a shop small guide, where to find the best Christmas lights and holiday shows and MORE!

Be sure to tag us in your festive holiday fun this weekend if you are partaking, and we’ll be sure to share in our Facebook or IG stories! Thank you to the many that tagged us last weekend 🤗

One more thing – ’tis the season for giving back if you’re able. You can find our Holiday Volunteer Guide here with 11 +1 reader recommended place/idea/event to give back with your kids. Join the conversation on Facebook or Instagram.  So, if you have ideas to add to our Volunteer Guide – shoot us a message!

Lastly, Lake Country Family Fun did our research, like we do, and found all the fun things for you and your family to do this weekend, too.
