The most awaited shopping event of the year is here! Black Friday marks the unofficial beginning of the holiday shopping season when retailers offer significant discounts. The term “Black Friday” is believed to have originated in the 1960s with “black” referring to businesses moving from being in the red, i.e. operating at a loss, to being in the black and making a profit. Today, it has grown in popularity and spread worldwide but for the first time ever, Fever is offering a special Black Friday deal on a whole slew of events in NYC!
From November 24 to 27, New Yorkers have the opportunity to enjoy substantial discounts on a wide range of plans and events, including the immersive FRIENDS Experience, the Astra Lumina night walk, magical Candlelight concerts and many more! Take part in the excitement and tradition of early morning shopping with your family and get that special someone an experience to remember.
