Local residents describe Nome as warm, friendly place that is all about community. The folks here love to celebrate, and Thanksgiving provides the perfect opportunity for a gathering.
The Nome Community Thanksgiving Dinner, made possible by donations and lots of volunteer help, is open to all community members and visitors. Stop by for a meal, pitch in to help with the turkey, and enjoy the company of friendly Nome-ites, whose ready smiles and fascinating stories of life in this remote town warm up even the coldest of November days.
