What to do during the week of Thanksgiving around Coral Springs
Activity in the city is set to cool during Thanksgiving week — but the holiday also brings opportunities to get moving and making for all ages. Plus, check out our list of day camps for kids open during the fall break.
Along with the fesitivies, there are still opportunities to give back. The Coral Springs Police Department’s toy drive continues until mid-December, and a number of soup kitchens and food pantries in the area are seeking additional support for families in need.
