Thanksgiving is a North American harvest festival celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November and in Canada on the second Monday of October. The traditional first Thanksgiving is believed to have been celebrated by the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people in 1621, though an earlier celebration took place in 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida. Today, Thanksgiving celebrations typically involve sharing a meal with family and friends, with foods like turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie.
