15 Awesome Things to Do on Thanksgiving Day (and Night)
Explore SF with SF Botanical Garden’s free day, free walking tours, ice skating, dance parties & more
There’s plenty of fun to be had in San Francisco this Thanksgiving, whether you want to get a workout at the largest Turkey Trot in the America, or explore the city on a free walking tour, or later in the evening move and groove at a free ’80s dance party.
Or, wake up early to catch the sunrise ceremony at Alcatraz honoring Indigenous Peoples, take time to volunteer, or enjoy some laughs at a free comedy show. You can also soak in the season with free admission to the SF Botanical Garden for a peaceful stroll among the greenery. Or enjoy a free vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner accompanied by an Indian concert.
No matter your pace or interests, San Francisco offers a Thanksgiving full of ways to celebrate, give back, and have fun. Happy Thanksgiving!
