Punxsutawney Groundhog Club

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club is a community organization dedicated to celebrating Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Each year on February 2nd, members gather to observe Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog who is believed to predict the weather. If Phil sees his shadow, it indicates six more weeks of winter; if not, an early spring is expected. The club manages the event, promotes local tradition, and preserves the folklore associated with the groundhog's forecast, drawing thousands of visitors and media attention to the town.
