    Thanksgiving Days - Thursday and Friday

    Thanksgiving Day is a day for people in the US to give thanks for what they have.

    In some cities and towns, there are parades during the Thanksgiving weekend. In most areas, these festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season.

    Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 23, 2023. Knowing the date year after year might sound tricky, but it could be easier to remember it like this: Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday of November! Also, a good fact to note is that the absolute latest Thanksgiving can occur is on the 28th of November, while the earliest it could occur is on the 22nd.
