MonacoUSA will host a traditional American celebration of Thanksgiving at Stars of Monaco on Thursday 26th November.
The evening will bring together Monaco’s international community to celebrate the traditional values of Thanksgiving, including friendship and gratitude.
The American tradition is considered a national favourite, bringing families and friends together over a festive meal. The history of Thanksgiving dates back to a three-day harvest celebration that took place in 1621, when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and members of the Wampanoag people came together.
This gathering is recognised as the inspiration for the modern Thanksgiving tradition.
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of Thanksgiving. The holiday is now celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.
In maintaining the tradition of sharing a meal, MonacoUSA guests will sit at long communal tables.
ON THE MENU
On the menu for the event are several classic American Thanksgiving staples. Alongside pumpkin soup and roast turkey with stuffing, guests will be served cranberry sauce, corn on the cob, sweet potato purée, creamed onions, sautéed broccoli,i and American-style cornbread. Dessert will include traditional pumpkin pie and brownies.
The price also includes coffee, half a bottle of water, and a choice of wine, beer, or a soft drink for each guest.
