What is Summerween?
Summerween is the celebration of Halloween in the summer. The idea originated in an episode of Gravity Falls (season 1, episode 12). The town hosts a second Halloween in the summer with trick-or-treating and carving jack o’lantern watermelons on June 22.
If your kids are fans of Gravity Falls, they’ll love spending a day making these fun Halloween crafts in the summertime!
