‘Alice’s Restaurant’ By Arlo Guthrie, The "Unofficial Official Anthem of Thanksgiving" Turns 60

 



Arlo Guthrie Asbury Park 9/28/19



Everyone reading this probably knows that Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" has become an iconic song and even movie for this particular holiday of Thanksgiving.

Just in case there are some out there who remain unaware, however, it seemed like a good idea to share this particular article (see link below) which explores the 60th anniversary of this now pretty iconic tune intimately associated with Thanksgiving.

Seemed appropriate to publish this blog entry on this of all days.

Enjoy.



It’s been 60 years since Arlo Guthrie was arrested in Massaschusetts. You may have heard the story.  by Lauren Daley, November 26, 2025:

Guthrie reflects on his tale becoming the (unofficial) official song of Thanksgiving, and on the Guthrie Center's 20th annual free Thanksgiving dinner in Great Barrington.
