Punxsutawney Phil is a Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, groundhog who is the star of the borough's annual Groundhog Day celebration. Punxsutawney has a municipal celebration with music and cuisine every year on February 2nd. Phil emerges from his temporary house on Gobbler's Knob, some 2 miles southeast of town, during the ritual, which starts long before the January daybreak. If Phil sees his shadow and returns to his burrow, he is said to have forecast six more weeks of winter-like weather. Phil has forecast an "early spring" if he does not see his shadow. Punxsutawney Phil's celebration is the most well-known of numerous Groundhog Day celebrations held around the United States and Canada. The festival officially started in 1887, although its origins may be traced back much further.
