Thanksgiving 2024: Date, Tradition, Football, and More
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Thanksgiving 2024 is around the corner. People in the United States are gearing up to celebrate the annual festival with their loved ones on the fourth Thursday of November. It is one of the most awaited festivals in the US. This celebration falls nearly a month after Halloween and almost a month before the Christmas celebration.

The holiday falls on the fourth Thursday of November every year. The earliest possible date for observing this federal holiday is November 22, and the latest is November 28. The festival is a bit late this year, compared to the previous years. It is because 2024 is a leap year. The annual celebration was observed on Thursday (November 23) last year. In 2022, it was celebrated on November 24, and on November 25 in 2021. Next year, the festival falls on November 27.

From date and tradition to football and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, here is everything about Thanksgiving 2024.

When is it Celebrated?

The annual festival is celebrated this year on Thursday (November 28). The federal holiday was observed on the same day in 2018. It happens roughly between every five to six years. So, the Americans will have to wait until 2030 to celebrate this festival on the same day.

They enjoy watching football and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while spending with their loved ones.
