What is celebrated on Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving Day is dedicated to expressing gratitude for the blessings received throughout the year. Traditionally, families gather around a dinner featuring turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, bread, and desserts — all symbols of abundance and appreciation.
In Colombia, this holiday has become an opportunity to reflect, share meaningful moments, and enjoy good company. Many families prepare traditional Colombian dishes alongside the classic turkey, blending flavors and cultures in a single celebration.
When is Thanksgiving celebrated in Colombia?
The fourth Thursday of November is the official date to celebrate Thanksgiving, following the U.S. calendar. In 2026, it will take place on November 26, a perfect occasion to take a few days off and enjoy the beginning of the Christmas season.
