Seasonal celebration ‘Summerween’ gains popularity

I would celebrate Halloween all year long! This is a cool and fun trend for the summer months!

Summerween, a combination of Halloween and Summer, is gaining popularity as a fun seasonal celebration. Fans of Summerween are celebrating with themed decorations, costumes and treats like candy and watermelon. Some people are carving watermelons like pumpkins.

The term “Summerween” was first mentioned by Disney Channel’s animated TV series called “Gravity Falls” back in 2012. Though it took a decade for the trend to catch on in real life, the show originally came up with the idea in season 1, episode 12, when people in the fictional town of Gravity Falls decided to celebrate Halloween twice a year because they loved the holiday so much.

Fast forward to summer 2025, and people on TikTok are coming up with the most creative Summerween parties we’ve ever seen!
