This Minnesota City Was Named Among Best In Nation For Celebrating Turkey Day

When it comes to celebrating Thanksgiving, one Minnesota city made the cut as being among the best in the United States of America.

A study by WalletHub ranked the top 100 cities in the US for Thanksgiving.

“The best cities for celebrating Thanksgiving all have an abundance of high-quality restaurants and places to buy festive decorations, and their residents get very excited for the holiday based on their Google search history. Other features make individual cities stand out; for example, San Diego has great weather, Atlanta has a fantastic track record for on-time flights and San Francisco has surprisingly affordable accommodations," said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.

WalletHub used Thanksgiving Celebrations/Traditions, Affordability, Safety & Accessibility, Giving Thanks and the Thanksgiving Weather Forecast as the categories for the study.

The top five places to visit on Thanksgiving included San Diego, Atlanta, San Francisco, San Jose and Dallas.

Just outside the top ten was St. Paul, Minnesota. The capital city of Minnesota ranked 81st in celebrations/traditions, 29th in affordability, 20th in safety/accessibility, second in giving thanks and 71st in weather.
