Thanksgiving Break is on the way; with that comes vacation. Thanksgiving break is one week long, so it is the perfect time to relax and travel someplace fun. Some like to stay home, while others like to leave and explore new places. You could travel anywhere, but some places are better recommended than others. Some exciting places to visit include New York City, New York; Plymouth, Massachusetts; and Asheville, North Carolina. These cities include everything you would want from a Thanksgiving destination, from a cozy walk around a small town to exciting new sites in a big city.

The first city to visit is known for its high levels of tourism and popularity. New York City has many different things to offer for the Thanksgiving season. One of the big ones is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual event that showcases large helium balloons, detailed floats, marching bands, and celebrity performers. Another fun activity to participate in is the Bank of America Winter Village. This winter village is a free-admission event that consists of over 180 artisan vendors in their custom-designed kiosks, an ice skating rink, and rinkside dining.

Another city that’s perfect to visit for Thanksgiving Break is Plymouth, Massachusetts. It’s the ultimate mix of cozy and festive that you would want when on Thanksgiving Break. At Plymouth, one exciting thing you can do is watch their big Thanksgiving parade. The parade consists of themed floats that go all through the historical town. As the parade travels, you will see floats that celebrate important historic dates and eras while drum and bugle corps and military bands fill the streets. During your stay at Plymouth, you can also visit the Hometown Family Festival that includes a children’s petting zoo, face painting, art projects, food trucks, and historical reenactments.

The last city that brings the festive feelings is Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville, North Carolina, offers a scenic vacation that many people enjoy. For example, you could enjoy an impressive view while hiking trails, such as ones at Beaver Lake or within the Pisgah National Forest. You could also visit the Adventure Center of Asheville to go ziplining or even climbing. If being adventurous all the time is not for you, you can also have fun on the ground floor. This could include walking around the town, exploring, and admiring the dazzling holiday light displays.

There are many places to choose from when planning your vacation, but these are three that you should definitely take into consideration!
