Get everyone together at Red Door for the Spiral Entertainment Turkey Eve on Wednesday, November 25. There will be live music, DJs, drinks and lots of festive folks. The party extends outside under a huge, heated tent. $5 in advance or $10 at the door. Red Door Tavern is located on Roswell Road in Buckhead.
