Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the first three-day-weekend holiday of the year and falls on Jan. 18 in 2021. Because retailers tend to throw sales on three-day weekends, it’s also a good time to hunt for deals online and in stores.
MLK weekend isn’t a major shopping event compared to other long weekends, such as Memorial Day and Labor Day. If you’re looking for sales, know that relatively few retailers advertise their sales that weekend as “MLK Day sales.” However, thanks to the tradition of retailers marking down home goods in January and fashion retailers trying to offload remaining winter clothing, discounts tend to converge around MLK Day weekend.

These sales will take place during the long weekend. Some start early or run beyond Monday. Don’t forget to check retailers’ sites over the weekend for up-to-the-minute promo codes.
