Why celebrate Halloween just once a year? We’ll help you throw a Summerween bash your friends and family will talk about until October.
What is Summerween?
“Summerween” is a portmanteau of “summer” and “Halloween.” It’s usually celebrated in July or August and brings some ghoulish fun to the summer months.
Summerween is an excuse to break out your Halloween decorations early and have some fun mixing them with summer activities! Here’s everything you need to throw a Summerween party this year.
Throw a Summerween Movie Night
Celebrating Halloween during the summer calls for an outdoor scary movie night. Choose kid-friendly Halloween movies for a family party or queue up your scariest flicks for an adult Summerween bash.
Set up a projector in your backyard, light the firepit and break out the s’mores and candy. If you have a pool and really want to take movie night to the next level, get some Halloween-themed pool floats and let guests watch movies from the water!
Rain ruining your plans? Bring the movie night indoors and decorate your living room with your favorite Halloween decorations.
Summerween Activities and Games
It’s easy to give your favorite Halloween party games and activities a summer twist!
Jack-O’-Melon Watermelon Carving
Pumpkins may be in short supply during the summer, but watermelon makes a great warm weather jack-o’-lantern. Use acrylic paint for best results.
Fire Pit Scary Stories and S'mores Bar
Telling scary stories around a campfire is a classic summer tradition. Add in a s’mores bar and you have the perfect Summerween party activity.
Glow-In-The-Dark Slime
It’s easy to give your homemade slime a ghostly glow. You can use glow-in-the-dark glue or mix in a glow powder to make your slime luminescent.
Just 53 days until Halloween!
