Thanksgiving Around The Park

Tomorrow is a day for giving thanks and counting blessings, and it’s also a time to celebrate connections with loved ones. With that in mind, here are the ways that people around town are spending their holiday. If you had planned to spend the day alone, know that several organizations are happy for you to join them for feasts or fellowship.

Residents from the Berrywood and Stewart's Landing neighborhoods are playing in the 10th annual Battle for Cattail Creek, a Thanksgiving football game at Berrywood Park. The celebration has grown to include tailgating, commentators, pump-up music, a kids’ game, and more. Tailgating starts at 4:30pm, followed by a women’s game around 6:00pm and a men’s match around 7:00pm. Stewart’s Landing took home a second straight championship last year, so Berrywood has plenty of motivation to earn bragging rights with the 2025 contest.

St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church is welcoming the community to a Thanksgiving Mass and food blessing tomorrow at 9:00am.

At American Legion Post 175, members of the auxiliary unit are offering a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner from 2:00pm-5:00pm, or until the food runs out. The meal is free for veterans and $17 for non-veterans. As the Facebook page says, “Bring your family, bring a friend, or just bring yourself — no registration needed. Whether you’re a veteran, a neighbor, or simply someone who could use a warm meal and good company, you’ve got a seat at our table. Let’s share gratitude, fellowship and community this Thanksgiving.”

Thanks to the generosity of the community, SPAN (Serving People Across Neighborhoods) was able to distribute about 175 Thanksgiving meals to people in need.

From the Severna Park Voice family to yours, happy Thanksgiving!
