Black Friday has become a major shopping tradition in Panama, following the U.S. custom of deep discounts the day after Thanksgiving. In 2026, Black Friday falls on November 27, with many Panama City retailers and malls launching promotions throughout the month and extending the weekend of deals from Thursday through Sunday.
Shoppers can expect significant markdowns on electronics, appliances, fashion, home goods and more across the capital's major shopping centers. Panama's competitive retail scene and duty-friendly pricing make it a popular destination for cross-border bargain hunters during the season.
Whether you are shopping in person at the big malls or online with local retailers, Black Friday is one of the busiest and most anticipated commercial dates of the year in Panama City. Arrive early for the best deals.
