Three American-inspired venues have teamed up to bring the ultimate Thanksgiving celebration to Sydney this November.

New Orleans inspired NOLA Smokehouse and Bar, underground cocktail bar The Swinging Cat and Nashville-inspired whiskey and country music bar Jolene’s, are launching Thanksgiving Month.

The last Thursday in November is the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. It began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year and has become a national holiday to rival Christmas as a time to feast and spend time with friends and family.

Thanksgiving Month in Sydney will feature an extensive range of food and drink offerings, such Thanksgiving Pie Cocktails, Snickerdoodle desserts and roast turkey.

There will also be a ‘parade’ of local bands and special guest artists performing live throughout the month.

NOLA and The Swinging Cat General Manager Pete Fischer said: “Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that is steeped in history and nostalgia. Even if people haven’t been to the US for Thanksgiving before, most people could name one or two traditions that are iconic to the occasion, with incredible food, drinks, a sense of community, and entertainment at its core.

“As the hospitality industry bounces back after two years of ongoing disruptions, we are really excited to bring these three American venues together to host a fun and simple Thanksgiving experience that will hopefully allow all Aussies the opportunity to enjoy moments of camaraderie and celebration together. Who says the Yankees get to have all the fun?

“There’s an option for everyone – each venue will be putting on a unique Thanksgiving offering, from sit-down formal banquets, all the way up to late-night Thanksgiving-Throwdown parties!”
