Groundhog Day is a traditional holiday celebrated on February 2nd. According to folklore, if a groundhog sees its shadow on this day, there will be six more weeks of winter. If it doesn’t see its shadow, spring will arrive early.
In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the town’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, makes his annual prediction on Groundhog Day. Thousands of people gather in Gobbler’s Knob, a small hill on the outskirts of town, to witness the event. Tickets for the event are typically available for purchase online or at the gate on the day of the event.
