- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 02 Feb, 2025 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Groundhog Day, with its quirky tradition of predicting six more weeks of winter, has become an iconic part of American culture. Join us at the New York State Museum for a fun and interactive exploration of Grundsaudaag—the original German name for what we know today as Groundhog Day.

In this family-friendly event, we’ll dive into the fascinating history of how German-speaking communities brought their winter traditions to the United States, blending European customs with their new American surroundings. Discover how the ancient German celebration of Candlemas Day evolved into the modern-day tradition of predicting spring’s arrival. It’s a chance to celebrate not only the weather, but the rich cultural exchange that shaped our country’s unique traditions.

So, whether you're predicting spring or bracing for more winter, come join us in celebrating Grundsaudaag—a Germanic twist on an American tradition that’s sure to warm your heart (even if the groundhog sees his shadow)!
