The day after Thanksgiving in the USA

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Many retailers open extremely early (between 3:00 and 6:00 am) and offer "doorbuster" deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores.

The news media frequently refer to Black Friday as the busiest retail shopping day of the year, but this is not always accurate. The busiest retail shopping day of the year in the United States is often the Saturday before Christmas.
