Black Friday, which translates to "Black Friday," is a commercial event originating in the United States that takes place every year on the Friday following Thanksgiving. Black Friday is characterized by advantageous and unmissable promotions and discounts on a wide range of products.

The Macy's department store was the first to promote what we now know as Black Friday in 1924, introducing unprecedented discounts to kick off the Christmas shopping season. This initiative marked the beginning of a commercial tradition that now involves stores and consumers worldwide.

Black Friday falls on the Friday immediately after Thanksgiving Day, which is celebrated in the United States on the last Thursday of November. This year, it will be held on Friday, November 29.

The name "Black Friday" is believed to derive from the ink color used to record profits and losses in retailers' ledgers: red for losses and black for profits. On Black Friday, due to the surge in sales, accounts moved from red to black, marking a day of profit.
