How it works
The countdown reads today's local time, looks up Black Friday's date for the current year (or rolls to next year if past), and ticks down the millisecond difference. Display refreshes once per second.
Calendar holidays in the US fall into three categories: federal (codified by Congress, 11 total), religious (lunar or liturgical schedules), and observance (state-level or cultural). Black Friday carries its own observance traditions — see related guides linked below for the specific cultural and historical background.
