Black Friday is an annual shopping event occurring the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, traditionally marking the commencement of the holiday shopping season. It is characterized by retailers offering significant discounts and promotions across a wide range of products, from electronics to home goods. The day is notable for being one of the busiest shopping days of the year, with many stores extending their hours or opening on the Thanksgiving holiday itself to accommodate consumer demand.

The event has gained international prominence, with many countries now hosting similar sales. Its notability stems from the deep discounts offered by major retailers, which attract millions of shoppers seeking to purchase high-value items at reduced prices. This makes it a critical period for both consumer spending and retail revenue, often setting the tone for the financial performance of the entire holiday season.
