By Jonna Kinlin, Publisher of Macaroni KID Seacoast November 16, 2023

The weekend before Thanksgiving is always a busy one, from meal planning to food shopping, cleaning if hosting and packing if visiting for the holiday. Whatever your plans may be, take some time out before the craziness of the holiday season to enjoy a fun event or activity with your family or friends. Here are Macaroni KID Seacoast's picks for things to do this weekend in the Seacoast.

1. Books Alive with The Pout Pout Fish



One of our favorite books! The Pout Pout Fish will be visiting the Children's Museum of NH in Dover on Friday and Saturday for a special storytime. Nov 17th 10 am - 10:30am, Nov 18th 10 am - 10:30 am & 2 pm - 2:30 pm


2. Kids Night Out



Let the kids have a night in, while you have a night out to get your holiday errands (or a much needed adult break) in before the weekend. This Thanksgiving themed night will be at the YMCA of the Seacoast in Portsmouth. Nov 17th, 5 pm - 8 pm


3. Kids' DIY-U Workshop: Thanksgiving Turkey Photo Holder
