The biggest football game in the state will take place at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving morning as the fourth-ranked New Canaan Rams visit the third-ranked Darien Blue Wave in the annual Turkey Bowl. This year’s matchup is the 99th time these two powerhouse programs and arch rivals will face each other, this time with state playoff seeding on the line. For those unable to go in person, the game typically is broadcast live on NCTV 78 here (here’s the Darien feed as a backup).
What follows is a look at what’s open and closed for the long Thanksgiving weekend. Town Hall will close at 1 p.m. Wednesday and reopen Monday. New Canaan Library will be closed Thursday and Friday (open 10-5 Saturday and 12-5 Sunday).
The New Canaan YMCA will be closed Thanksgiving Day, reopening Friday 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The Playhouse is open through Thanksgiving and the weekend, showing “Moana 2” (click for showtimes), and “Wicked.”
The wonderful New Canaan Farmers Market will operate as usual, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the Lumberyard Lot at the train station downtown.
Please remember to support New Canaan’s outstanding local businesses.
