Wikipedia: "The term was first used in the Gravity Falls episode "Summerween," broadcast on October 5, 2012, which depicted a fictional town celebrating Halloween during the summer. As shown by one of the characters holding up a calendar, they celebrate summerween on June 22nd. This has been the accepted celebration day for those who observe summerween. This was intended as surreal humor. For example, the inhabitants of the town carve "jack-o'-melons" instead of jack-o'-lanterns. The concept of celebrating Halloween in summer was later adopted by fans for informal celebrations."
