February Groundhog Day 2024<\/strong>. Although this holiday is derived from a Dutch superstition, the movie 'Groundhog Day' starring Bill Murray is also closely linked to this holiday. It's a day when townsfolk in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, gather in Gobbler's Knob to watch as an unsuspecting furry marmot is plucked from his burrow to predict the weather for the rest of the winter.

This very important date is a cultural signifier of whether or not spring will come early or not.
