When is Groundhog Day?

Groundhog Day is always February 2—a fixed calendar date, not a federal holiday. The countdown and next-ten-years table above lists exact weekdays for 2090 and future years, including how many days remain until the next occurrence.

Floating holidays shift on the calendar; fixed dates like July 4 or December 25 stay on the same month and day every year. If the date falls on a weekend, federal observance may move to an adjacent weekday—confirm with your employer for time-off policies.

History and background

The tradition derives from Pennsylvania Dutch customs and Candlemas folklore. Punxsutawney Phil's prediction in Pennsylvania became famous through media coverage in the twentieth century.

Understanding the history helps explain why schools, media, and local governments schedule related events around the same season each year.

How people observe Groundhog Day

Ceremonies in Punxsutawney and other towns feature a groundhog "forecast" for an early spring or six more weeks of winter. Schools and media often mention the lighthearted ritual.

Neighborhoods and workplaces vary: some close entirely on federal holidays, while cultural observances may continue with normal business hours. Check local listings for parades, sales, or volunteer opportunities tied to this date.

Calendar planning tip

Add February 2 as a cultural note on your 2090 calendar—it does not affect bank hours. Useful for themed events or teaching folklore.
