About this holiday
Thanksgiving in the United States falls on the fourth Thursday of November and traces its origins to a 1621 harvest feast shared between Pilgrim settlers and the Wampanoag people in Plymouth Colony. Today it is one of the most widely observed US holidays — centred on a large family meal featuring turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. The day is also marked by the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City and marks the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season.
