ThanksLiving is a celebration unlike any other.
​
Each November, our community gathers at Full Circle Farm Sanctuary for a day filled with exceptional vegan food, rescued farmed animals, local businesses, seasonal traditions, and the simple joy of spending time together.
​
Explore the sanctuary, meet the residents who call it home, browse the silent auction, enjoy a thoughtfully prepared vegan feast, and experience the traditions that have made ThanksLiving a favorite annual event.
​
Gather with the turkeys as they enjoy their own holiday feast, celebrating lives that are cherished rather than forgotten.
​
Join the pigs for their much-loved pumpkin gathering, one of the happiest moments of the day as they enthusiastically search through hundreds of community-donated pumpkins.
​
Throughout the celebration, you'll discover new spaces across the sanctuary, connect with compassionate businesses from across the region, and experience the warmth and generosity that make this event so special.
​
Every ticket includes full access to the day's festivities, the sanctuary tour, our signature vegan meal, seasonal activities, and a commemorative ThanksLiving swag bag.
​
As Full Circle Farm Sanctuary's largest onsite fundraiser, ThanksLiving is produced entirely through the generosity of our community partners, allowing every ticket and every silent auction bid to directly support lifelong care for the sanctuary's residents.
​
People return year after year because ThanksLiving feels different. It is joyful, welcoming, heartfelt, and rooted in community.
​
The celebration has sold out for the past two years, and tickets are limited. We encourage reserving your place early.

Moments That Define the Day
Every ThanksLiving has its traditions.​
​
As the afternoon unfolds, guests gather for two moments that have become beloved parts of the celebration.
​
The Turkey Feast
​
The sanctuary's turkeys enjoy a holiday meal of their own, honoring lives that are celebrated, cared for, and free to grow old.
​
The Pumpkin Party
​
Then the atmosphere changes.
​
Guests launch pumpkins into the pasture as the pigs race to investigate, turning the field into one of the happiest—and loudest—moments of the day.
​
Different in spirit. Equally unforgettable.
​
