How this list works
The day itself is for the table; the days around it are long. This page collects what’s on for kids in our Tampa listings over Thanksgiving break: parades and turkey trots on Thursday morning, Thanksgiving crafts and storytimes in the weeks before, break camps for the school days off, and the light displays, tree lightings and Santa arrivals that open over the long weekend, for families at home and for those visiting relatives. 59 are still ahead. Each one opens its listing page, which links to the organizer’s own page and shows the date we last checked it. Dates are in Eastern Time.
