HONG KONG, CHINA – SEPTEMBER 07: A woman walks past a lantern display at Tai O fishing village on September 07, 2022 in Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong prepares ahead to celebrate the mid-autumn festival which is an occasion for a children’s night out and family gathering with the customs of moon contemplating, a procession of star and moon-shaped lanterns, lion dance, as well as holding parties with moon cakes and fruits.

This Winter Walk will have thousands of lights on display as you roam through clutching hot chocolate with friends or a loved one. Starting from November 20 through January 15, Taylor Park in Millburn, New Jersey is hosting the annual walk.
The lake at Taylor Park will also be decorated with thousands of colorful lights with a custom light tunnel, per Thrillist. In addition to the colorful lights in the park, there will also be a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, live music, food, and a visit from Santa Claus himself at the Winter Walk.
The walk is free to attend, and families are encouraged to participate. The starting point is located at 100 Main Street where you will be able to go into the park and enjoy the lighted walk. The park is lit from 4:30 pm until 10:00 pm nightly.
Now that it's November most of us have turkey on the brain but there's also something we should start preparing for if we haven't already. That's right, it's time to grab your running shoes and sign up for that local Turkey Trot or 5K in town.
For some, it might be a household tradition and for others, well you'll have your glass of wine and turkey leg very soon. The annual walk or run brings families and friends together to kick off holiday celebrations with most being held on the day of Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 24th).
If you live here in New Jersey, there are Turkey Trots, and 5K races, among many other Thanksgiving-related events being held all month long statewide. Be sure to review each event website for any date or time changes prior to Thanksgiving as several will be held weather permitting.
