Here are some unique Thanksgiving traditions that started in the streets of New York…
On November 25, 1783, British forces finally left New York City after the Revolutionary War. Known as Evacuation Day, November 25th was celebrated each year around Thanksgiving with costumes, parties, and parades in the streets. In fact, Evacuation Day was a major holiday in New York until 1888, so it was a popular Thanksgiving tradition for decades.
