Even with Thanksgiving taking place this week, there’s no shortage of things to do this weekend. Go for a hike at local state park the day after Thanksgiving, take a spin around the rink at Ice 0n the Landing, celebrate the season during “Holidays Under the Peaks” at the Tennessee Aquarium or check out the live reindeer, lighted boat parade and fireworks at Reindeer on the Riverfront.
