Thanksgiving for many means sharing a nice meal with friends and family - but there are also numerous things to do this weekend across the Hudson Valley

If you have nowhere to go, can't afford a hot meal or don't want to cook and clean but still want some delicious food, you can head over to Bob's Diner in Brewster for its annual free Thanksgiving dinner. You're invited to bring your favorite dish and share it with the community. If cooking is not your thing, you can make a small donation. The dinner kicks off at 2 p.m. and goes until 8:30 p.m. The owner says this could be the last Thanksgiving dinner at the diner so they are hoping to make it the best ever.

If you want something fun to do with the family, check out Westchester's Winter Wonderland. The festive celebration is at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla. It's a drive-thru experience with thousands of holiday lights and animations, plus you'll be able to see the largest Christmas tree in Westchester. It starts on Friday at 6 p.m. and runs through Jan. 1. Tickets start at $25 per car, and it's best to make a reservation before going.

Another great event is "The Nutcracker," which is coming to the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater in Peekskill this holiday season. It's part of the World Ballet Series. You can catch it on Saturday at 7 p.m., and tickets range from $33 to $175. The show will be performed live by a multinational cast of 50 professional ballet dancers.
