Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States to give thanks for the harvest. It began as a religious observance by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in America in 1621, where they invited local Native Americans to a three-day feast to celebrate their successful harvest. Today, Thanksgiving traditions include parades like the annual Macy's parade held in New York City every Thanksgiving.
