Black Friday, or Black Friday, is usually defined as the fourth Friday of November, but always follows Thanksgiving Day in the US (23/11). This year the day of great deals will "fall" on Friday, November 24, 2023.

The institution of Black Friday started in America and began to spread slowly to European countries as well. The first time the term Black Friday was used was on September 24, 1869 to describe one of the worst days of the American stock market. Afterwards, the term was used again with a positive meaning. In the US, Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving.
