Thanksgiving: Gratitude
Being aware of what we are thankful for as Americans
Freedom’s Feast: Thanksgiving is the signature Freedom’s Feast ceremony first created in 2001 to help you to make your Thanksgiving more meaningful, memorable and fun.
As America’s most universally celebrated holiday, Thanksgiving is an ideal time to reflect on what makes our nation special. For adults, it’s an opportunity to give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy. For kids, it’s an occasion to explore America’s civic heritage and to learn more about your family’s American story.
For everyone around the table, Freedom's Feast brings additional meaning to Thanksgiving and makes the day about more than just eating, football, and shopping.
