Details about Summerween
What is Summerween?
Summerween has become a trend, which was inspired by the Disney show “Gravity Falls”. The fictional town in the show celebrates Halloween twice a year, once in the fall and again in the summer, which has led to a phenomenon of celebrating Halloween in summer. Queue in Summerween.
When is Summerween?
Summerween in the show “Gravity Falls” is celebrated on June 22nd plus Halloween is celebrated again on the regular October 31st date. The concept has since gained popularity as a way to enjoy Halloween-themed activities during the summer months, blending summer celebrations with spooky touches.
