When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving, which falls on Thursday, Nov. 28 this year, meaning the shopping holiday will occur on Friday, Nov. 29.
What is Black Friday?
One of the biggest shopping and sales events of the year, the day is believed to have earned the title “Black Friday” in the 1950s when Philadelphia police used the term to describe the chaos they observed thanks to suburban shoppers flooding the city, USA TODAY previously reported.
By 1961, the name stuck in Philly but didn’t go nationwide until the late 1980s, when retailers seized the opportunity to reframe the day as something more positive, concocting the analogy of stores going from being “in the red” (experiencing financial deficit) until the explosion of sales on the day after Thanksgiving, bringing them back into “the black” (being profitable).
Many still believe this to be the real origin of Black Friday’s name, according to previous USA TODAY reports.
