Celebrating Unity, Gratitude, and Family: U.S. Embassy Wishes Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a cherished holiday in the United States, observed on the fourth Thursday of November each year. Its origins date back to 1621, when Pilgrims and Native Americans gathered to enjoy a meal together and express gratitude for a fruitful harvest.

Thanksgiving is centered around the themes of togetherness, thankfulness, family, and community, making it a beloved cultural and national occasion. The day is celebrated with gatherings of loved ones, elaborate feasts, and large parades across the United States. Additionally, since 1934, the Detroit Lions have hosted a football game on this day, and this year they will compete against the Chicago Bears. For those in Montenegro and others who may not know much about this holiday, Thanksgiving offers a glimpse into American culture and lifestyle.

The U.S. Embassy in Podgorica will be shut on Thanksgiving Day and sends its warmest wishes for a joyful Thanksgiving to all!
