I am looking forward to building my first PC and wanted to get advice on if there are any specific month/events (Eg: Black Friday) with discounts on PC parts that I should wait for.

Black Friday deals normally aren't that great. But the worst time to buy is right before black friday since they jack up prices before, so they can mark them as "on sale". Same for other sales like Christmas time.

Yeah, I totally agree with your point. Better to buy a month or 2 before Black Friday to avoid the surge.
