How the date of Thanksgiving is set
US Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November, so it always falls between November 22 and 28. Find the first Thursday of November and add three weeks.
It used to be the last Thursday of November by custom. In 1939, a year with five Thursdays in November, President Roosevelt moved it a week earlier, and in 1941 Congress set it by law as the fourth Thursday.
Canadian Thanksgiving is different: it is the second Monday of October.
More on how moving holidays are worked out: why holidays like Easter, Diwali and Eid move every year.
Is Thanksgiving a day off?
It is a federal holiday in the US. Many people also take Friday off, and schools often close for both days.
Thanksgiving starts the US holiday shopping season, followed by Black Friday the next day and Cyber Monday four days later.
Planning around it? The working days in the answer box count Monday to Friday only. Take out any public holidays in between, or use the date calculator to count from another date.

Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
