Your Thanksgiving dinner should be about love, family, and decadent food. It should also be about eating just the right amount to gather strength to have a productive Black Friday the following day… or maybe even starting that very same evening.

The tenants of The Lodges at Lake Salish are lucky, as the Columbia Gorge Outlets are just a 7-minute car ride away. On Black Friday, the Outlets will be Mecca! They will open at 6 pm on Thanksgiving evening and remain open until 1 am. Then, they will re-open early on Black Friday. This will be your chance to get a jump on your holiday shopping.

Additionally, be aware of the season’s activities planned at the Outlets; things like Victorian carolers, pictures with Santa, and bagpipe music. Such events are planned throughout December (see exact dates here).

We wish you a delicious Thanksgiving meal, a busy Black Friday, and that you’ll get filled with holiday spirit!
