On Friday, you can experience the Art Institute of Chicago’s wreathing of the lions, where the two statues are festooned with wreaths made of evergreen.

Washington, D.C.

What better place is there to spend Thanksgiving than in a city that is steeped in American history? There are many attractions dedicated to commemorating some of the most influential people from history, including Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Every year, the president pardons one turkey at Mount Vernon.

San Francisco

Car aficionados will relish the opportunity to visit the San Francisco Auto Show, which runs from November 21 through 29. When you spend Thanksgiving here, you can also take a ride on one of the trolleys, go shopping at Fisherman’s Wharf, or see the Pier 39 sea lions.
