Winter is finally coming to an end, with warmer weather just around the corner. This is the perfect time to get ready for those things you can enjoy only when it’s warm outside. Here’s a look at some of the popular activities you can do in the summer.
Going to the Amusement Park
Many outdoor amusement parks open when the days start to warm up, as it takes a lot to keep the doors open, and winter doesn’t draw people in. That means you’ll start to see tickets go on sale for these parks soon. So get ready to go and enjoy some rollercoasters and food stalls out in the sun.
Riding Your Motorcycle
While you can ride your motorcycle at any time of the year, most people like to keep their drives short and sweet in the wintertime. On the flip side, many people ride during motorcycle season, which stretches from May to September. There are a few things you need to know to prepare for a motorcycle ride, but after learning them, you’re sure to have a great time.
Having a Picnic
As the temperature starts to rise, it’s the perfect chance to do things outside that you normally do inside. For example, a picnic is a great way to eat and enjoy the warmer weather at the same time. You’ll just need to find a good place and bring some delicious food.
Swimming at the Beach
While it’s possible to swim in the cold water of winter, it’s not safe or advisable. It’s much better if you wait until the water warms up in the summer so that you can enjoy a nice cooling dip. You can have a lot of fun on a beach in the summertime, so bring the whole family.
These are a few activities you can try out this summer as the weather gets warmer. Going out and enjoying the nice weather is a big part of summer, and you can benefit by taking advantage of the opportunities this warmer time brings.
Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday sit side by side on the calendar, but they feel very different.

Ride into the rare Year of the Fire Horse with legends, dragon dances, lucky foods, and a fiery red robin salute to Lunar New Year. The Year of the Fire Horse is one of the most dramatic and culturally charged cycles in the Chinese zodiac. It appears only once every 60 years, and when it does, it ignites stories of passion, rebellion, creativity, and change.
From ancient legends to modern festivals filled with dragon dances and lanterns, the Fire Horse gallops through history
as a symbol of both risk and possibility.

As mid-February settles in, Presidents' Day arrives as a welcome pause in the winter season, a moment when
communities across the United States step outdoors for parades, visit historic sites, and reflect on the
leaders who shaped the nation. The holiday blends civic pride with the comfort of a long weekend, creating
a unique mix of celebration, education, and family time.
In 2026, the holiday on February 16th carries added significance as the nation enters its 250th anniversary year,
inspiring expanded programming, special exhibitions, and renewed interest in the country’s founding era.
From record spending to instant downloadable gifts for couples, pets, and families. For late shoppers, these ideas make a great solution for finding meaningful gifts.
Valentine’s Day 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet. Recent retail surveys show
that total Valentine’s spending is expected to reach record levels, with average budgets per
person climbing close to the $200 mark. Consumers aren’t just buying for romantic
partners anymore; they’re also celebrating kids, pets, friends, and themselves.
At the same time, how people express love is changing. Instead of defaulting to last‑minute
flowers and generic chocolates, many are looking for gifts that feel personal, meaningful,
and easy to deliver, especially when they’ve left things a little late. That’s where
downloadable, print‑at‑home, and digital gifts step into the spotlight.
