How the Black Friday date is set
Black Friday is simply the Friday after U.S. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, so Black Friday always falls between November 23 and November 29.
It is a shopping tradition, not a federal holiday: it does not appear in the list of federal holidays in 5 U.S.C. § 6103. Whether you have the day off depends on your employer or school.
