Enjoy Thanksgiving dinner at The American Church in Paris.

Purchase tickets at Sunday coffee hour through 24 November.

Thanksgiving is one of the greatest, oldest, and beloved of American family holidays. At ACP, we are a family coming from across the seas, borders, and continents, and for this reason we gather each year for Thanksgiving dinner and invite our brothers and sisters from around the world to share in this American tradition.

The 200-seating event starts at 17h30 in the ACP Theater on Saturday, 30 November. ACP will provide a traditional American Thanksgiving meal with roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato soufflé, glazed green beans, garden salad, bread, olives and a choice of pumpkin pie or cheesecake. Juice and bottled water. Adult tickets include one glass of red or white wine. Additional wine will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle. Children will be seated with their parents for dinner, towards the end they are invited to watch the cartoon movie, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

Ticket price 20 euros per adult, 15 euros for children aged 17 or younger. Tickets can be purchased with cash or check after the 11h and 13h30 worship services through Sunday 24 November.

Please note that due to limited spacing the Thanksgiving dinner is available to the ACP community and our local neighbors. Tickets are not available for tour groups. Thank you so much for your understanding.
