MEDIA ADVISORY: FEBRUARY 2 – PENNSYLVANIA TO HOST GROUNDHOG DAY 2025

Punxsutawney, PA – All eyes will be on Pennsylvania February 2, 2025, to learn if we’ll have six more weeks of winter or an early spring. Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phill will emerge again for the 139th year to share his “prognostication” with the world.

This event unites people of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate one of America’s most cherished traditions. From Phil’s top-hatted Inner Circle of handlers to the tens of thousands of attendees who will brave the winter chill, Groundhog Day 2025 promises to be a moment of collective excitement and anticipation.
