Port Aransas Turkey Trot

Start your Thanksgiving morning with a healthy tradition by joining the 2024 Port Aransas Turkey Trot. Taking place on November 27th at the Grand Lawn (258 Snapdragon, Port Aransas, TX), this event is a fun way to get active before indulging in a hearty Thanksgiving meal. The Turkey & Tot Trot will kick off at 9:00 am, and all proceeds will go toward supporting Trinity by the Sea Episcopal Day School, a local non-profit organization. It’s a fantastic way to give back to the community while enjoying some exercise.

The Turkey Trot isn’t just a run – it’s a full morning of activities! After the race, you can stick around for a fun-filled time with bounce houses, music, lawn games, and more. It’s a great way to spend the morning outdoors, enjoying the festive atmosphere with family and friends. Since this is an outdoor event, rain or shine, be sure to dress for the weather and get ready for a memorable start to your Thanksgiving in Port Aransas.

Go on a Bike Ride

After the Turkey Trot, why not continue the outdoor fun with a bike ride around Port Aransas? The town’s flat terrain and scenic views make it an ideal spot for a leisurely ride. Many places in town offer bike rentals if you didn’t bring your own, so you can explore the area at your own pace. Cycle along the beach, through the town’s charming streets, or head to nearby parks to take in the coastal scenery.

If you’re looking for a longer ride, consider heading to Mustang Island State Park, where you can enjoy miles of scenic trails and take in the natural beauty of the island. It’s a peaceful and refreshing way to spend your Thanksgiving afternoon, and it allows you to explore the area in a unique way.

Cook a Thanksgiving Feast

Of course, no Thanksgiving is complete without a feast! If you’re staying in one of Port Aransas’s vacation rentals, you will have a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal, which means you can whip up a traditional Thanksgiving meal right from the comfort of your home away from home. Stop by one of the local grocery stores to pick up all the essentials – turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and more – and enjoy the process of cooking a holiday meal with your loved ones.

Our vacation rentals feature spacious kitchens with everything you need to prepare your feast. Whether you’re hosting a big family dinner or keeping it simple, there’s nothing like the satisfaction of enjoying a homemade Thanksgiving meal after a day spent exploring the beach.

Watch the Parade on TV

Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without watching the famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. Whether you’re cooking in the kitchen or relaxing in the living room, tune in to catch the floats, balloons, and performances that make this parade a Thanksgiving staple. It’s the perfect backdrop to your holiday morning as you prepare for your feast or just kick back and relax with your family.

Go to the Beach

One of the best parts about spending Thanksgiving in Port Aransas is the chance to hit the beach after your holiday meal. While many people are bundled up in colder parts of the country, you’ll be able to enjoy the warm Gulf Coast breeze and the sound of waves. Take a relaxing stroll along the shore, build sandcastles with the kids, or just sit back and watch the sunset over the ocean. It’s a great way to unwind and reflect on everything you’re thankful for.
