September 16 is officially Mexican Independence Day. The day is called "Grito de Dolores" (literally Shout from Dolores) or their Independence from Spain, and is routinely celebrated in Mexico.

Many Mexican-Americans and Mexicans living in the US pay little heed to that occasion, but do celebrate "Cinco de Mayo" (fifth of May) as a patriotic holiday. On May 5, 1862, Mexican forces defeated an invading French army at the Battle of Puebla.

Where do Mexicans celebrate Thanksgiving?

If by Thanksgiving you are referring to a holiday (or even a specific date) to commemorate some special event that Mexicans in general are thankful for, then the answer is no. Some regions or towns, where agriculture is a relevant economical activity, have festivities related to the harvest disguised as religious celebration. I'm not very versed in the catholic religion, but seems to me that every rural region has it's own "Santo Patrono" (saint) which is believed to have a special influence in the agricultural matters.
