🦃 Thanksgiving weekend on Chincoteague is stacked this year.
We're sharing the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce's full agenda below, but here's what we're most excited about:
🎄 Friday, Nov 27 — Annual Artisan Holiday Tour (10am–5pm), the Black Hole Friday sale at NASA Wallops Flight Facility Visitor Center, a movie at the Island Theatre, and Christmas Manor Comes to Life at dusk.
🛍️ Saturday, Nov 28 — Holiday Day Market at the Chincoteague Cultural Alliance (9am–1pm), a guided Birding Driving the Wildlife Loop at 8:30am, extended hours on the Wildlife Loop, the Assateague Lighthouse climb, historic decoy carving at the Bateman Center, and the Holiday Tree Lighting at Robert Reed Downtown Park at 5pm.
🌊 Sunday, Nov 29 — More extended Wildlife Loop hours, lighthouse climbs, decoy carving, and three different films at the Bateman Center.
Translation: you can spend the holiday hiking, birding, shopping small, and eating out — and never once do dishes. 😄
