About Groundhog Day 2028
Groundhog Day is an iconic North American folkloric tradition celebrated every year on February 2nd. According to legend, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow sees its shadow due to clear weather, it retreats back inside, portending six more weeks of winter weather; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early.
The largest and most famous ceremony takes place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where the legendary groundhog Punxsutawney Phil delivers his weather forecast from Gobbler's Knob before tens of thousands of enthusiastic spectators. The tradition evolved from ancient European Candlemas customs and German immigrant folklore.
In 2028, Groundhog Day lands on a Wednesday. Whether you are eagerly awaiting warmer spring temperatures or embracing late-winter activities, tracking the countdown gives a fun seasonal benchmark halfway between the winter solstice and spring equinox.
