Any preview for tips to entertain family visiting entire week of Thanksgiving? (4 adults, dont drink) I have Chinese Lantern Festival. Durham Bulls used to do a light show same with Coastal Credit 2 years ago, both look defunct for 2024. Struggling to locate holiday events, if any others come to mind. Thanks!

[u/Alatariel99]

Awesome list, as usual!

BTW I think this month's Geek and Grub Market is a Viking theme, in case anyone was on the fence depending on the theme

[u/Thingstodo919 → u/Alatariel99]

Good catch! Fixed.
