What is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is a US federal holiday. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November—a fixed rule since 1941 federal law.

When is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November—a fixed rule since 1941 federal law. The countdown and next-ten-years table above lists exact weekdays for 2046 and future years, including how many days remain until the next occurrence.
Floating holidays shift on the calendar; fixed dates like July 4 or December 25 stay on the same month and day every year. If the date falls on a weekend, federal observance may move to an adjacent weekday—confirm with your employer for time-off policies.
History and background
Colonial harvest feasts and national proclamations, including Lincoln's 1863 call during the Civil War, shaped the modern holiday. Roosevelt briefly moved the date in 1939 before Congress fixed the fourth Thursday.
Understanding the history helps explain why schools, media, and local governments schedule related events around the same season each year.
How people observe Thanksgiving
Family meals, turkey dinners, parades such as Macy's in New York, football games, and travel across the country.
Neighborhoods and workplaces vary: some close entirely on federal holidays, while cultural observances may continue with normal business hours. Check local listings for parades, sales, or volunteer opportunities tied to this date.
