When does Punxsutawney Phil come out for Groundhog Day?
Groundhog Day 2021 will be celebrated at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, at approximately 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 2. That's when Punxsutawney Phil is anticipated to leave his burrow and look for his shadow for the 135th time, according to The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.
While in previous years the day's festivities kicked off early in the morning with large crowds, this year's event will begin later and be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While no official plans have been released, the Groundhog Club will host other virtual activities on the day of the event. A list will be posted on the club's website.
