Join us for the third annual Friendsgiving, presented by The Thigpen Group!
This year, we’re bringing Friendsgiving back to where it all began, The Cedars, for an evening that feels like coming home. Together, we’ll celebrate the community we build and support with a one-of-a-kind storytelling experience through food, created by Derek Emerson of Caet, Local 463, Sacred Ground, and soon-to-be Little Effie’s, Emerson Provisions, and Masa Mesa at The District at Eastover.
We all have friends who have become as close as family. For many of us, Friendsgiving has always been about gathering with those people, whether related by blood or by choice, and creating traditions that remind us we belong. This is our chance to do just that: to come together, share stories, and build connections that strengthen the places we call home.
Life gets busy. Work, commitments, and everything in between often pull us in different directions. Friendsgiving is an invitation to pause, gather around the table, and give thanks, not just for what we have, but for the people and communities who make it meaningful.
All that’s left is for you to bring your people—family, friends, neighbors, colleagues—and join us for an evening of food, fellowship, and celebration.
When: Tuesday, November 18, 2025
Happy hour: 5:30 – 6 p.m.
Dinner: 6 p.m.
Friendsgiving is about sharing, so we’ve made it even sweeter to come with friends. Couple and bundle tickets let you celebrate together and save. Don’t wait – tickets go fast! Last year’s event sold out and had a waiting list several weeks before Friendsgiving.
