Amazon has announced they’re extending Amazon Prime Day to four days.

It was originally one day when they started doing it a decade ago. The first Amazon Prime Day was July 15th, 2015, and it was 24 hours long.

They upped it to two days in 2017 but kept the name. Now it’s four days and they’re still sticking with it.

In 2022 Amazon added a second Prime Day that happens in the fall. Technically it’s called Prime Big Deal Days. There’s also a Big Spring Sale.

The 2025 summer version of Prime Day will last four days – July 8th through July 11th.

Today is officially known in the U.S. as Juneteenth National Independence Day, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
