(Washington, DC) The DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) warmly invites families and individuals to enjoy a host of Thanksgiving events, activities, programs and celebrations at various recreation centers throughout the District.

Patrons can take part in Thanksgiving dinners, banquets, fall festival tournaments, roller skating, moonlight breakfasts, feed-the-homeless programs, and holiday treats. Many recreation centers serve as pick-up sites for coat drives, food drives and other activities benefitting low-income individuals and families. See a copy of the DPR poster listing the sites for these activities.
