Perfect Texas Spots To Celebrate Halloween During The Summer

Are you already tired of the Texas heat and ready for the fall season?

To be honest, I don't mind the Texas summers, but I'm ALWAYS looking forward to fall. While it doesn't cool down much until around mid/end of October in Texas, there are SO many fun aspects to the fall season.

Trees change colors; pumpkin-flavored items are released; the air smells different; the heat is fading away; you get to have Thanksgiving foods; and best of all, Halloween!

Halloween is probably one of my favorite holidays, and many others seem to agree. There's just something special about it -- maybe it's the idea of having fun with friends, eating candy, and dressing up as something or someone different once a year.

What is Summerween you ask?

If you haven't heard of it, Summerween is exactly what it sounds like -- celebrating Halloween in the summer. Now, it's not exactly the same as the holiday, but it takes a lot of the fun, wholesome elements of the day and puts them in summer.

For example, enjoying Summerween could be as simple as making spooky-themed drinks and foods; setting up an outdoor area with blankets and Halloween-themed decor; and putting on a scary movie.

But you can also find some year-round activities in Texas when you want to have a Summerween day.

Of course, this only showcases things to do in one area of Texas, but there are so many places where you can have a fantastic, spooky Summerween. If you live in East Texas, the town of Jefferson immediately comes to mind -- you'll find an iconic haunted hotel and many other paranormal attractions there.
