As we head into Thanksgiving, we didn't want to let the week pass without saying a heartfelt thank-you to our listeners and to every guest, partner, and contributor who helps us "connect community one voice at a time." This special holiday episode is short and sweet, designed to send you into the long weekend with gratitude and a full slate of festive things to enjoy around Waukee and the greater Des Moines area. From family-friendly traditions to beloved annual events, we've pulled together the highlights so you can make the most of the season.
We cover everything happening from Wednesday through Sunday—the light parade and free community meal at Centennial Park, Thanksgiving morning traditions like the Playgrounds Café crafts, the Turkey Bowl at Lutheran Church of Hope, and Iowa's biggest Turkey Trot downtown. The weekend ahead is packed with holiday magic: Festival of Trees & Lights, Santa's Rock N Lights, tree lightings, fireworks at Jordan Creek, Winterset's Festival of Lights, the Hy-Vee Holiday Parade, Val Air Holiday Fair, Jolly Holiday Lights, and more. Whether you're looking for kid-friendly outings, live music, or a cozy way to kick off the season, this episode has you covered.
