Thanksgiving Weekend 2019: What's Happening In South Jersey

Thanksgiving is Thursday and if you're hosting, you may have family coming in from all over. They might not go right home, or they might be showing up early. You might want to find things to do with them beyond Turkey Day. You also might need to unwind big-time once they leave.

Either way, we've got you covered. Here's a look at some upcoming events in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties, courtesy our friends at Visit South Jersey.
