About the date
That puts it between November 23 and November 29. It is not always the fourth Friday of the month — when November begins on a Friday, Black Friday is the fifth Friday.
It is not a federal holiday, though many states and employers give the day off. Many retailers now start their sales earlier in the week or earlier in November, so the date is the traditional peak rather than a starting gun. Cyber Monday is the Monday three days later.
