Amazon officially announced that Prime Day 2025 will take place from July 8 to 11, the longest Prime Day ever in the company's history. This four-day mega event is not what the shoppers expected to see since the usual only lasts for 48 hours.
The Seattle firm might have done this in honor of the 10th anniversary of Prime Day, but it could also mean that it's an effort to combat shifting consumer behavior. Get Ready For Four-Day Amazon Prime Day 2025 Sale Amazon Prime Day 2025 Rumors Are True—4-Day Mega Sale Set
According to the company's blog post, Prime Day 2025 gets underway Tuesday, July 8 at 12:01 a.m. PDT, just after the Fourth of July holiday weekend. It will take place through Friday, July 11, just before the weekend kicks off.
If past practice holds, the top deals will start rolling out as soon as the opening bell rings, so set your calendars and make your wish lists early. Do You Need a Prime Membership to Shop the Deals?

Free returns
Prime Video, Amazon Music, and Prime Reading access

If you're not already a member, you can join for a free 30-day trial and cancel after Prime Day is over, ideal for short-term Amazon shoppers. Why Is Amazon Stretching Prime Day to Four Days?
Although Amazon hasn't released official explanations for the expansion, analysts propose a combination of anniversary celebrations and sales tactics. During a tough retail environment, stretching Prime Day provides Amazon more time for inventory clearing and an opportunity to capture several shopper groups.
Extending it to four days will also be an avenue to pilot weeklong mega sales structures such as rival events by Walmart and Target.
It also implies shoppers can spend more time grabbing lightning deals and temporary discounts without the frenzy of a two-day buying window. What Kind of Deals Can Buyers Anticipate?

Venetian vows: Bezos, billionaires, and backlash – DW – 06/27/2025
Image: Luca Bruno/AP Photo/picture alliance Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were in high spirits as they cruised through the waterways on Thursday for the welcome party for their multi-day wedding in the lagoon city. Entire neighborhoods have been cordoned off. Boat traffic on the busy canals has also been restricted. The couple is staying at the luxury hotel "Aman" on the Grand Canal. Image: Luca Bruno/AP/dpa/picture alliance US billionaire Jeff Bezos, founder of online retail giant Amazon, and former TV presenter Sánchez were set to tie the knot on Friday on the island of San Gregorio Maggiore. The small island, covering around 10 hectares, is located in the Venetian Lagoon and is home to a Benedictine monastery, a church, and the Teatro Verde, where the ceremony is expected to take place. Image: Matteo Chinellato/ipa-agency/dpa/picture alliance The police are patrolling the entire city and monitoring the canals with jet skis. Due to the protests that have been going on for days and the possibility of attacks, the highest security measures are in place. The dates and details of the multi-day celebration remained strictly confidential. Image: Pierre Teyssot/Maxppp/picture alliance A few days ago, a large Greenpeace banner caused a stir in St. Mark's Square. The poster, prominently placed on the ground, reads: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." For weeks, local and international activists have been protesting against the wedding and have already announced their intention to disrupt the celebrations. Image: Yara Nardi/REUTERS On the Rialto Bridge, protesters unfurl a banner reading "No Space for Bezos." The tech billionaire's lavish wedding brings together several controversial aspects: One of the richest men in the world is celebrating in a city that has become a symbol of mass tourism and the dramatic consequences of climate change in recent years. Image: Manuel Silvestri/REUTERS Tourists pose in front of an art installation by the collective "Konn Artiss," which depicts Jeff Bezos as a mannequin sitting on a toilet made of Amazon boxes. With several provocative installations throughout the city, the artist collective is protesting the mega-wedding in a unique way. Image: Click News/Handout via REUTERS Despite numerous protests, celebrities are everywhere: Even the Kardashian clan is not missing out on the spectacle, attracting attention on a boat on the Grand Canal. A total of around 200 to 250 prominent guests from politics, business, and entertainment were expected, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, talk show icon Oprah Winfrey, and actor Orlando Bloom. Image: Guglielmo Mangiapane/REUTERS Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, traveled to the wedding marathon with her husband Jared Kushner and their children. The cost of the opulent celebration is estimated at at least $10 million (€8.5 million). The governor of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, even spoke of up to €40 to €48 million. Image: Luigi Costantini/AP Photo/picture alliance The coming days are likely to be turbulent for guests and paparazzi alike, as the wedding celebrations are set to last for at least three days. Between June 25 and 28, expect to see numerous impressions of the mega-wedding — as well as further protests. Image: Pierre Teyssot/Maxppp/picture alliance 06/27/2025 June 27, 2025

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez to marry in Venice amid protests – DW – 06/27/2025
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is set to wed his fiancee Lauren Sanchez in a controversial three-day celebration. Estimated to cost up to $56 million, the guest list includes Hollywood stars, athletes and even royalty. A star-studded guest list gathered in Venice on Friday as Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos prepared to tie the knot with his partner Lauren Sanchez. The tech magnate, 61, and his fiancee, 55, kicked off a three-day wedding celebration on Thursday with the price tag believed to exceed tens of millions of dollars. Details of the nuptials have been a closely-guarded secret, but paparazzi have spotted guests including Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Jordan's Queen Rania, US football player Tom Brady, singer Usher and Ivanka Trump — the daughter of US President Donald Trump. The lavish wedding is not without its objectors. Venice is one of the most iconic cities in the world, but it is also among the most vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by climate change. Its popularity has also led to overtourism, with local residents complaining of a lack of affordable housing and poor access to essential services. At least 95 private planes requested permission to land at Venice's Marco Polo airport for the wedding, the Italian daily reported, while several megayachts have also moored off the city. Environmentalists, housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups have come together to protest the wedding under the banner "No space for Bezos." The slogan is a play on words that references his space exploration company, Blue Origin, as well as the bride's recent space flight. Greenpeace unfurled a banner in St Mark's Square denouncing the billionaire tech mogul for not paying enough in taxes. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Other activists displayed mannequeins mocking Bezos around the city, including one that bobbed in the city's canals, clinging to an Amazon parcel to stay afloat. Bezos and Sanchez are donating €3 million ($3.5 million) to the city, according to Veneto's regional president Luca Zaia, and are employing historic Venetian artisans. Italian media reported that Bezos and Sanchez will exchange vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. The newlyweds will then be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, the son of famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, the reports said. Sanchez has reportedly prepared 27 outfits to wear throughout the festivities. Italian designer Domenico Dolce — half of the duo Dolce & Gabbana — was seen leaving their luxury hotel on Thursday, possibly following a fitting. The party bags will reportedly feature murano glassware from Laguna B as well as traditional Venetian cookies made by the city's oldest pastry maker Rosa Salva. The celebrations are set to wrap up on Saturday with a party likely at the Arsenale, a vast shipyard complex dating back to when the city was a naval powerhouse and which nowadays serves as a venue for the Venice Biennale. The governor of Veneto told reporters that the most recent price tag for the three-day event was between €40 and €48 million (up to $56 million). That's more than 1,000 times the cost of the average US couple's wedding, which came in at $36,000 in 2025, according to wedding planning site Zola.
