Thanksgiving Eve isn't an official holiday but refers to the night before U.S. Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November), often marked by parties, travel, and anticipation. It's become notable as one of the busiest drinking nights of the year, with bars and events ramping up.
Historically, Thanksgiving traces to 1621 when Pilgrims and Wampanoag Native Americans shared a harvest feast in Plymouth, Massachusetts—more a survival celebration than the modern turkey dinner tradition. It wasn't formalized until 1863 when President Lincoln proclaimed it a national day of thanks during the Civil War. The "Eve" part evolved culturally in the 20th century as a pre-holiday social ritual.

I only heard about it but don't know the history of it.
@askrafiki do you know about it?
