When is Black Friday 2024?
Every year, Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving. This year, Thanksgiving 2024 took place on November 28, which means that Black Friday fell on November 29.
When does Black Friday end?
Bargain hunters rejoice, for Black Friday is no longer a 24-hour-only event. It normally stretches over the entire Thanksgiving weekend, right up until the highly anticipated sister to Black Friday known as Cyber Monday on December 2.
Why is it called Black Friday?
There are many theories for this. Here’s one: Before Excel spreadsheets existed, accountants would update financial data manually in ledgers. Red ink was used for a negative balance, and black ink for a positive one. Black Friday helps businesses across the globe to push their profit margins right back up ‘into the black’, hence the well-known moniker for the post-Thanksgiving sale.
