Thanksgiving in Colombia?

What is there to do there around this time of the year? I am looking to try new places, I went to Lago Calima last time I visited. Any suggestions? I will do Santa Marta or San Andres another time when I can fly in and then we all fly out for vacation.

In Colombia we call Thanksgiving 'Thursday'.

no celebramos el "dia de las buenas gracias"
halloween: dia de las brujas o dia de los niños.

Halloween's origin is Celtic, not from the US.

I plan to celebrate Thanksgiving this year but it will need to be on Saturday so more family can gather. Thanks to a wonderful visitor who brought a few essential ingredients when he came for a visit, I plan to fix a traditional dinner. Turkey, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Corn ( Maybe) and Pumpkin Pie.
