Thanksgiving Weekend NYC 2026: Where to Go Out, Wednesday to Sunday
Thanksgiving weekend NYC nights run from Wednesday, November 25 to Sunday, November 29, 2026, with 40 published parties on our calendar. Wednesday has Louie Vega's Flashback at Superior Ingredients in Williamsburg and Soul In The Horn at The Chocolate Factory in Bushwick, and Thursday has Ground Control's Thanksgiving night with KOFLA and Cristian Arango. Friday brings Night & Day at Signal, Saturday has Felix Da Housecat at House of Yes, and Sunday closes with Chus & Ceballos on The Roof at Superior Ingredients.
Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26 this year, and the party calendar wraps around it. Wednesday is busy, Thursday is quiet until dinner is cleared, and Saturday is the fullest night. Sunday leans toward daytime parties that end early.
This guide walks the five nights in order. Each party links to its own page with live ticket status and price. All 40 parties on the calendar for these nights are 21+, and none was sold out when we pulled the data. For happy hours we use each bar's regular weekly schedule, so check holiday hours, above all on Thursday.

Beers $8 · House Wine $8
Daily 4pm–7pm · 19 Wyckoff Avenue · Jefferson St (L)Sea Wolf sits at 19 Wyckoff Avenue, a minute from the Jefferson St L stop and on the same avenue as House of Yes. Its happy hour runs every day of the week, so Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are all covered on the regular schedule, with beers, house wine and frozen drinks on the deal. The venue also hosts the MONSTERA reggaeton party on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mon–Fri 4pm–6pm · Sat, Sun 12pm–4pm · 141 Broadway · Marcy Avenue (J, M, Z)OTB at 141 Broadway in Williamsburg runs a weeknight happy hour plus a weekend one from midday into the afternoon, which makes it a good Saturday or Sunday warm-up before Superior Ingredients or a Sunday roof session.

Wednesday, November 25: the big night out
Nine published parties land on Wednesday, and four are billed around Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving Eve guide covers this night in full, so here is the short version. Louie Vega plays Flashback in the Main Room at Superior Ingredients from 9 PM, and Soul In The Horn runs at The Chocolate Factory from 10 PM to 5 AM.
DayBreak at Elsewhere in Bushwick runs from 10 PM to 3 AM with no lineup announced, and Elsewhere asks for a physical, scannable ID. In Manhattan, TMML's Thanksgiving Eve house night at PUBLIC ArtSpace on Chrystie Street starts at 10 PM with a dress code: no athletic wear, shorts or flip-flops.
If you want music without the late night, Date Nite: Vinyl Happy Hour at Sleepwalk on Bushwick Avenue runs from 6 PM to 10 PM, with crate-digging DJs and happy hour specials at the bar.
Thursday, November 26: after dinner
Thanksgiving night is the quietest night on the calendar. Ground Control's party with KOFLA and Cristian Arango at Superior Ingredients is the only published party for Thursday, with doors at 10 PM.
Bars are harder to call. On a normal week, 828 of the 844 bars we track list a Thursday happy hour, but holiday hours are not in our data. Check the bar's own site or call before you head out.
Friday and Saturday, November 27 and 28: the weekend proper
Friday has 10 published parties and Saturday has 17, the busiest night of the five. On Friday, Night & Day at Signal runs into Saturday afternoon. At The Delancey on the Lower East Side, reggaetonLABS hosts Reggaeton Fridays from 11 PM; the listing says a ticket guarantees entry only before midnight, and the dress code is upscale casual.
Saturday spreads across three boroughs. UK garage producer MPH headlines the Main Hall at Knockdown Center in Maspeth from 10 PM to 5 AM. THE KAGE Chapter 01 at Capitale on the Bowery pairs sanctioned fights in an octagon cage with an after-hours party from 12:30 AM. For an early start, Suave Saturdays at Somewhere Nowhere NYC in Chelsea is a Latin-inspired sunset party from 5 PM to 10 PM, and only arrivals before 6 PM are guaranteed entry.
Happy hours open over the long weekend
Weekend happy hours are rarer than weekday ones. Of the 844 bars on yaynyc, 311 list a Saturday happy hour and 344 list a Sunday one, and 273 cover Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday on their regular schedule. The table below has live times and prices.
A few bars pair well with the parties above. Sea Wolf on Wyckoff Avenue runs its happy hour every day and sits on the same avenue as House of Yes, so it works before Saturday's Felix Da Housecat night. OTB on Broadway in Williamsburg has a weekend happy hour from midday, a natural first stop before Sunday on The Roof. On the Lower East Side, Mila's Bistro runs oysters, cocktails and beers on its weekend window, two minutes from Delancey St-Essex St. These are regular schedules, so a quick look at the bar's site saves a wasted trip.
Sunday, November 29 and tips for the whole weekend
Sunday has three published parties, and two of them are daytime. Chus & Ceballos play The Roof at Superior Ingredients from 2 PM to 10 PM. In Gowanus, Eli Escobar and Jen Cardini take The Atrium at Public Records from 4 PM to 10 PM; doors close an hour before the end, and large bags and coats must be checked.
A few rules apply across the weekend. Every party is 21+, so bring a valid government ID; Elsewhere and Knockdown Center both spell out which IDs they accept. Signal, House of Yes and Elsewhere keep phones off the dance floor. Night & Day and Chus & Ceballos sell no tickets at the door, so buy ahead.

How we put this together
Party facts come from yaynyc's published party listings for November 25 to 29, 2026, which were checked against each event's DICE page between October 13 and 22, 2026, as noted on every party page. Party counts (40 total, none sold out) and bar counts (844 live bars; 311 with a Saturday and 344 with a Sunday happy hour) were computed from our data on October 27, 2026. Bar details come from each bar's own website, with happy hours checked in October 2026 (Sea Wolf on October 25, OTB on October 26, Mila's Bistro on October 25). Holiday hours for bars are not confirmed.
