Monday is the Thanksgiving public holiday, and for many of us it can mean being away from family or missing out on the traditional dinner altogether. That’s why we’re inviting you to a Wilderness Union Friendsgiving! We’ll be gathering at the Wilderness Union warehouse, decked out in festive decorations, for an evening of connection, celebration, and comfort. Expect a fully catered Thanksgiving feast, complete with sides and seasonal pies, plus entertainment ranging from trivia games to bracelet making. Best of all, our amazing party planning committee has handled all the details so you can just show up, relax, and enjoy. It’s all about good food, great company, and the kind of warm, fuzzy good times that help us transition from summer to fall with full hearts.
Guests are welcome too, if you know someone spending the holiday alone, bring them along to join the celebration!

Community Spirit
Thanksgiving can feel a little lonely when you’re far from family, so we’re bringing everyone together for a Wilderness Union Friendsgiving!
Feast Together
What’s Thanksgiving without the feast? We’ll be serving up a full buffet dinner catered by Swiss Chalet, complete with classic sides and seasonal pies, so all you need to do is bring your appetite.
Entertainment
After the meal, the fun keeps going with activities for everyone! Test your knowledge in our trivia games, get creative with bracelet making, or simply enjoy the festive atmosphere with friends old and new.
18:00 - 22:00: Dinner and Games!

Q: Is this a potluck? Can I bring sides?
A: The meal is fully catered so you do not need to bring any food, but any small holiday dishes you would like to share are welcome! Please label any dishes with ingredients or allergens so everyone can enjoy safely.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
