Thanksgiving, also known as "Turkey Day", is one of the most significant holidays in the United States and Canada.

When is Thanksgiving Day 2024 celebrated?

In the United States, it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving Day in 2024 will be on Thursday, November 28th.

In Canada, it takes place on the second Monday of October. Thanksgiving Day in 2024 will be celebrated on Monday, October 14th, coinciding with the end of the fall harvest in the Northern Hemisphere.

Over the years, this celebration has evolved into a special time for family gatherings, gratitude, and, of course, great food. While its roots differ in each country, the spirit of giving thanks remains present in both. This year, Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya invites you to experience this tradition in a unique way, in a paradise setting with top-tier gastronomy.

History of Thanksgiving Day

The origin of Thanksgiving Day dates back to the early settlers in North America. In 1621, the Pilgrims who arrived on the famous ship Mayflower held a great feast of thanksgiving with the Wampanoag natives in what is now the state of Massachusetts, after having a successful harvest. This gesture of gratitude and brotherhood between settlers and natives laid the foundation for what we now know as Thanksgiving.

How is Thanksgiving celebrated in the United States and Canada?

In the United States, Thanksgiving Day is one of the most important holidays of the year, marked by grand parades like the famous Macy's Parade in New York, charity drives for those in need, and, of course, the traditional family dinner where roast turkey takes center stage. Other typical dishes include mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and the famous pumpkin pie.

In Canada, while the holiday has a more modest profile, families also gather to enjoy a similar dinner with turkey and side dishes, celebrating the abundance of the fall harvest and giving thanks for the blessings of the year.
