Have you ever walked into a store in the middle of summer and been pleasantly surprised by the sight of jack-o'-lanterns, spiders, and hay bales? If so, you have encountered the growing trend of Summerween – celebrating Halloween in July. This guide will explore the origins and popularity of Summerween, signs that it is a suitable time to celebrate, the benefits of joining in the fun, and how to start your own mid-year Halloween festivities.


Origins and Popularity of Summerween


Brief History of Christmas in July


The concept of celebrating holidays out of season is not new. Christmas in July started to enjoy festive cheer during the summer months. It provided a break from the heat and a chance to indulge in some winter-themed fun. This idea set the stage for other seasonal celebrations, including Summerween.


The Rise of Summerween


Summerween has gained popularity as Halloween enthusiasts look for ways to enjoy their favorite holiday twice a year. Stores like Joann Fabrics have embraced this trend, stocking Halloween decorations and costumes as early as July. Social media has also played a role in spreading the word, with hashtags like #Summerween and #HalloweenInJuly gaining traction.


Examples of Summerween Celebrations and Events


Communities across the country have started hosting Summerween events, from local festivals and haunted houses to themed parties and movie nights. These celebrations often blend summer activities with spooky fun, creating a unique and enjoyable experience for all ages.


Signs It is a Good Time to Celebrate Summerween

Retail Stores and Decorations


One of the strongest indicators that it is time to celebrate Summerween is the appearance of Halloween items in retail stores. When you see shelves stocked with pumpkins, spooky decorations, and costumes, it is a sign that the mid-year Halloween season has begun.


Community Events

Check your local event listings for Summerween festivals, haunted houses, or themed parties. These events are a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit and connect with other enthusiasts.


Personal Excitement


The best sign that it is time to celebrate Summerween is your own enthusiasm. If you and your family or friends are excited to embrace the spooky season, go ahead and start planning your festivities.


Benefits of Celebrating Summerween

Extending the Fun


Celebrating Summerween allows you to enjoy Halloween-themed activities and decorations twice a year, doubling the fun and excitement.


Boosting Creativity


Summerween provides an opportunity to plan unique, summer-themed Halloween parties and costumes. Think beach zombie parties, poolside vampire gatherings, and more.


Beating the Heat


Incorporate Halloween into your summer BBQs, pool parties, and outdoor gatherings. Cool off with ghost-shaped ice pops or enjoy a pumpkin spice iced latte while lounging by the pool.


How to Start Your Summerween Celebration

Decorations


Mix summer and Halloween themes to create a festive atmosphere. Think jack-o'-lanterns with sunglasses, spooky tiki torches, and haunted beach decor.


Activities

Plan activities like crafting spooky summer cocktails, hosting a costume party, or organizing a themed movie night with classic Halloween films.


Recipes

Create a menu featuring both summer and Halloween-inspired treats. Ghost-shaped ice pops, pumpkin spice iced lattes, and monster-themed BBQ dishes are just a few ideas to get you started.


Considering the Timing

Balancing Celebrations


Ensure that celebrating Summerween does not overshadow traditional summer activities and holidays. Find a balance that allows you to enjoy both.
