All Montgomery County government offices, libraries, recreation facilities, parks and liquor stores will be closed on Thursday for Thanksgiving.
Trash and recycling pick up for Thursday routes will be moved back to Friday, with Friday routes moved back to Saturday.
All parking at county curbside, lot or garage meters will be free.
If you’re in Woodmont Triangle and hope to leave Bethesda on Thursday morning, make sure to get out before 7 a.m. or wait until after 10 a.m. For that three-hour period, parts of Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road will be closed for the 31st annual Turkey Chase 10K race.
The event attracts thousands of runners who start in waves at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase YMCA (9401 Old Georgetown Rd.) before heading south on Old Georgetown, hanging a left on Cedar Lane, winding through Alta Vista and Pooks Hill and continuing south on Wisconsin Avenue. The race course then cuts through on Commerce Lane back to northbound Old Georgetown and the YMCA.
MCPS is also closed Friday.
