IT'S TIME FOR SUMMERWEEN!!

June 20, 2024

Did you know there's a Halloween celebration at the start of summer? I certainly didn't until last year when my daughter excitedly shared the concept with me. The whole idea of Summerween, a quirky celebration that stems from the fictional town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, intrigued me. Gravity Falls is a beloved Disney cartoon that my girls used to adore, and even though it's long off the air, my youngest remains devoted to its charm. The unique blend of autumnal festivities int he bright day of summer resonated with her, and a group of friends eagerly embraced the chance to celebrate this whimsical event.

As Summerween has transformed into a nationwide phenomenon embraced by young people and Halloween enthusiasts alike, I felt inspired to join in on the fun this year. To spread the word and encourage others to participate, I created this graphic for Instagram, celebrating the delightful spirit of having Halloween at the beginning of summer. It's a chance for those who cherish everything Halloween; candy, costumes, and community - to come together and revel in the joy of this imaginative tradition.

If you're curious about how this enchanting celebration originated, you can check out the Gravity Falls Summerween episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SNEwiG98SM Feel free to share the graphic I created for your own social media posts; let's keep the magic of Summerween alive and thriving in our communities!
