What is Groundhog Day?
Groundhog Day takes place on February 2nd every year and it is known as a Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from his burrow to see his shadow on a sunny day, he retreats back to his burrow and winter will go on for 6 more weeks. If the groundhog does not see his shadow due to cloudy weather, spring will arrive early.
Is Groundhog Day always on February 2nd?
For the past 136 years, Groundhog Day has been celebrated in Pennsylvania. Locals and tourists celebrate this annual tradition with live events, music, food, fun, and, of course, the famous weather prediction ceremony, where the groundhog is pulled from his temporary den to predict the coming weather.
Who is the famous groundhog?
Punxsutawney Phil is the famous groundhog who lives in Pennsylvania. He’s the furry little guy used to predict the weather at every Groundhog Day ceremony in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

Hi! I’m Meagan and I’m a 41 year old mom of a high energy almost 9 year old, happily navigating my way through the little boy years. I’ve been married for 14 years. I met my husband over 20 years ago in high school; we got married 10 years later after graduating from the University of South Florida. I currently help run a family business with my parents while blogging about my life and love of DIY projects!
When I’m not at a kids sports game, I enjoy spending time with my family on a beach anywhere. I also love decorating and organizing, fun DIY projects, bargain shopping, and eating out or in! I also love Barbecue anything and a good show or movie on Netflix.
