November brings plenty of things to do, as Philadelphia gears up for the holidays, from Veterans Day to Thanksgiving and full steam ahead to Christmas. Don’t miss our favorite kid-friendly events and activities in Philadelphia this month.
November kicks off with Game 4 of the Phillies World Series, so let's hope the month begins with a bang and a bell ring. The city is already on fire and is about to get even more sparkly, with LumiNature opening at the Philadelphia Zoo and the Tinseltown Holiday Spectacular lighting up the Expo Center. Not long after Election Day (don't forget to vote!) is Veteran's Day, so head to the Museum of the American Revolution where families can honor those who have served our country during a weekend of special programs. The month rounds out with Philly's beloved 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade, so tune in or bundle up and hit the Parkway before you stuff yourself with all the trimmings.
