Why wait until October to celebrate all things spooky? With the growing Summerween trend, Halloween fans can indulge in their favorite holiday in the the middle of the year with jack-o’-melon carving, sparkling pumpkin punch, and slasher movie marathons! First introduced by the hit Disney show, Gravity Falls, where the local townspeople celebrate Summerween on June 22 to have their Halloween fun twice a year, the “Summerween” idea has become it’s own phenomenon with spooky season lovers taking the opportunity to throw their own summer parties with a hair-raising Halloween twist.
With Americans’ love for Halloween on the rise and seasonal decor appearing in big box stores earlier and earlier each year, it’s no shock that Summerween has escaped its cartoon origins and entered the cultural zeitgeist. Make the most of this new holiday trend by curating an assort that blends the thrills and chills of the fall festivities with the bright colors and lighthearted vibe of a poolside summer soirée!
