It's not an official holiday, however many employees have the day off. Since 2005 this day has been the busiest day of the year to go shopping! Did you know about that?!
Curiosity: Why is it Called Black Friday?!
This day is originally called Black Friday because there were a terrible traffic and many people went out to the best store deals. This term started to be used before 1961 in Philadelphia and around 1975 the term started to be used in the whole country. Another possible reason of the name is that the stores which are at retails begin to turn a profit, or to be in the black.
So, if you didn't go shopping, I have a list of other things you might be interested in:
During the day there are seven guided walking tours in SF. All the information are here!
Macy's Great Tree Lighting is at 6pm at Union Square. There's gonna have a special performance by Chris Mann and a visit from Santa!!
