Summerween Starts Now — Get Spooky Before Everyone Else Does
Why wait for October? Summerween is Groupon's early kick-off to spooky season, running August 24 through September 20.

What is Summerween?
Summerween is Groupon's early Halloween kick-off — a seasonal sale from August 24 to September 20, 2026, covering costumes, party rentals, themed activities, and haunted attractions before peak-October demand.
Why should I book Halloween activities this early?
Popular haunted houses, costume rentals, and event gear sell out closer to Halloween — and prices climb as availability shrinks. Booking during Summerween locks in early-season deals and first choice of dates.
What kinds of deals are included?
Costumes and accessories, party and event rentals, themed seasonal activities, and haunted house and attraction tickets — a full spooky-season lineup in one place.
Are haunted houses already open in September?
Many haunted attractions open in September or offer early-season dates, and tickets bought now are valid for the dates listed on each deal — check the fine print for the schedule.
Can I use these deals for a Halloween party?
Yes. Party and event rentals — tables, tents, decor, sound gear, and more — are a core part of Summerween, so you can plan and book your whole party setup before the fall rush.
When does the Summerween sale end?
Summerween runs through September 20, 2026. After that, Halloween season pricing kicks in — so the best time to book is before the sale ends.
