No — the stock market is closed on Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November) is on the NYSE holiday calendar, and the bond market closes with it. The Wednesday before is a normal full session, 9:30am to 4pm ET.
It's a Thursday-only closure, but the market doesn't come all the way back on Friday — the day after Thanksgiving is a shortened session ending at 1pm ET.
