Thanksgiving in Briar Chapel
Briar Chapel is brimming with opportunities for fall fun and Thanksgiving celebrations, both at home and out and about. What fabulous festivities can you look forward to this year?
Briar Chapel’s Autumn Activities
Give back this Thanksgiving season! Briar Chapel is hosting a turkey donation drive on November 20. Make sure to bring your donations by 9 a.m. and leave them on the lower front step of the Briar Chapel clubhouse porch. Donation suggestions are below!
Don’t forget to check out Food Truck Friday, with delicious dining options throughout November. Who says Thanksgiving is the only day this month for lots of eating? Give the schedule a look:

For the Chefs (and the Non-Chefs)
Don’t want to risk burning the Thanksgiving feast? Big Belly Que, Hillsborough BBQ Company and Oakleaf are willing to do the work for you! Order, pick up and simply enjoy spending time with family.
If you’re planning on cooking, Steve’s Garden Market and Butchery, Carrboro Farmer’s Market and Chapel Hill Farmer’s Market all offer fresh ingredients for your best Thanksgiving dinner yet.
Exciting Events and Entertainment
