The name “Summerween” is not difficult to decipher. How about combining summer with one of the most fun celebrations of the year?
This new TikTok trend has brought Halloween back early for those of us who can’t wait for this wonderful celebration.
But how did it start? Here, we’ll tell you what it is and how you can throw the best party to enjoy with your friends and loved ones.
What is Summerween?
It all started as an inspiration from the Disney animated series Gravity Falls. The fandom usually celebrates it on June 22nd or the second-to-last Friday of the month, under the sole excuse of celebrating Halloween more than once a year, because once is simply not enough.
The inhabitants of Gravity Falls get creative with their decorations, using watermelons to make jack-o’-lanterns, (jack-o-melons) and there is even a special store. There’s also a spooky local legend: The Summerween Trickster, a mysterious creature that goes around eating children who lack the festive spirit for the celebration.
Do you need to be a fan of Gravity Falls to celebrate it?
Definitely not. So if reading this article has made you want to throw a summer Halloween party with all your friends, here are some ideas to help you organize the best Summerween ever.
