Punxsutawney Phil Predicts Six More Weeks of Winter

Pennsylvania's world-famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, predicted six more weeks of winter after emerging from his Gobbler's Knob burrow and seeing his shadow.

To help celebrate the 139-year-old tradition, Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Rick Siger attended the event, demonstrating its importance to the Commonwealth. Tourism is a key piece of the Governor's economic development strategy, generating $76 billion and supporting more than 486,000 jobs each year in Pennsylvania.

"People across the country and around the world have their eyes on Pennsylvania today for Phil's prognostication for 2025," said Anne Ryan, DCED Deputy Secretary of Tourism. "Today's event is one of many that makes our Commonwealth unique. It underscores Governor Shapiro's continued commitment to elevating the tourism industry by supporting local activities and providing opportunity to businesses statewide by increasing the number of people who visit Pennsylvania."
