Thanksgiving Day
Thursday, November 23, 1989
Celebrated the fourth Thursday of November, Thanksgiving traces back to a 1621 harvest celebration shared by Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag people. Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday in 1863, and it remains a time for families to gather and give thanks.
