Recurrence pattern: every year on the fourth Friday in November.

National Day of Thanksgiving is observed in the Turks and Caicos Islands on the fourth Friday in November. Established in 2014 by Prime Minister Rufus Ewing, this holiday encourages islanders to set aside their work and express gratitude to God for their blessings and to appreciate their families and friends. Unlike American Thanksgiving, it is primarily a religious holiday, with churches across the islands holding special services and programs to commemorate the day. The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory, experienced a suspension of home rule in 2009 due to allegations of ministerial corruption, but it was restored in 2012. This holiday reflects the cultural and spiritual values of the islanders, emphasizing community and gratitude.
