In 1565, Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilés celebrated the first Thanksgiving in St. Augustine, Florida, with the Timucuas, after a Mass of Thanksgiving on September 8. This event predates the Plymouth feast by 56 years, which occurred in 1621 with the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags.

Here are the details on it:

The emblematic narrative of Thanksgiving dates back to the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, whose journey in 1620 culminated in the establishment of Plymouth, Massachusetts. After a harsh winter that decimated many colonists, the survivors, along with ninety Wampanoags, celebrated a bountiful harvest with three days of festivities and gratitude. This significant moment symbolizes the connection between gratitude and perseverance, a theme that transcends generations.
Although not a universal liturgical holiday, Thanksgiving is deeply aligned with the heart of Christian life: the celebration of the Eucharist, the true act of thanksgiving.
Even before this episode, on September 8, 1565, when the first Spanish colonists arrived at what we now know as St. Augustine, Florida, their first act was to hold a Mass in gratitude to God for the safe arrival of the fleet. Presided over by Father Francisco López, chaplain of the expedition and the first pastor of St. Augustine, the celebration was followed by a shared banquet between the Spaniards and the native Timucuas, under the leadership of Don Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. This event is considered the true first Thanksgiving and the first celebratory meal in the United States.
For Catholics, Thanksgiving takes on an even deeper dimension, as it reflects the spirit and essence of the Eucharist, which is, above all, the great act of gratitude to God.
