Black Friday 2024 is here, and it’s one of the biggest sale events of the year. Also known as “Black Friday,” it falls on November 29th this year. However, compared to previous years, Black Friday this year is a bit more subdued.
According to our reporters, even on a Friday evening when people usually rush to leave work, the fashion streets and some shopping malls in Hanoi did not witness the usual scenes of thousands of people crowding and jostling to grab discounted items. On the night of November 29th, many stores had a regular number of customers, and the atmosphere was quieter than in previous years.
