As November approaches, our team at Alls Real Estate is taking a moment to reflect on what makes our community so special. Home isn’t just the four walls you live in—it’s the people you share meals with, the neighborhoods you explore, and the local traditions that make memories stick.

Thanksgiving is always a highlight of the season, but over the last few years, Friendsgiving has become just as cherished. It’s the perfect opportunity to gather your chosen family, pause before the holiday rush, and give thanks over fantastic food and drinks.

If you’re looking for a warm, memorable spot to host or attend a Friendsgiving celebration in 2026, we’ve found a fantastic local event you won't want to miss!

Hosting Your Own Friendsgiving at Home?

If your idea of Friendsgiving involves hosting in your own home, here are a few quick tips from the Alls Real Estate team to make hosting effortless:

1. Go Potluck Style: Don't bear the load alone! As the host, handle the main course (like the turkey or main roast) and ask guests to bring their favorite side dishes, drinks, or desserts.
2. Set the Seasonal Mood: Warm lighting, fall accents (pumpkins, dried eucalyptus, or warm throw blankets), and an autumn playlist go a long way in making your space feel cozy.
3. Create Flow in Your Space: Open up living areas by rearranging minor furniture or setting up a dedicated drink/appetizer station away from the main kitchen area to prevent congestion.
