These Photos Prove Why Summer Is the Best Season of All

Summer is obviously the best time of year, so we partnered with International Delight® to highlight reasons why this season is the greatest.

Boundless sunshine, promising weather, and an excuse to travel make Summer the greatest time of year — you'd be hard pressed to find someone who thought otherwise. But just in case they (or you) still need some convincing, these nine photos of the season's greatest advantages will certainly send them over the edge.

In-Season Fruit

When watermelons pop up at your local farmers market you know Summer has officially arrived. Made of 90 percent water, this juicy fruit is everyone's favorite thirst quencher.

Outdoor Concerts Totally Rock

Whether you like to dance to local indie acts or big-name bands, open-air concerts are a great way to enjoy the evening weather. Grab a blanket and listen to bluegrass at a nearby park, or head to a multiday festival with friends and courageously push your way toward the stage.

Plenty of Sunshine

Sun exposure (in limited quantities) is one of the best ways to get the necessary vitamin D your body needs, and you don't have to look far to find it. Just one of the season's many perks.

Bonfires Are the Best

Gather on the beach with friends on humid evenings and — if it’s legal — start a bonfire. Watch as the sun sets then roast a few marshmallows over the fire and make s’mores.

You've accrued two weeks of paid time off and now is the time to cash in. Head to the beach or book a flight out of the country and go somewhere you've been ogling on Pinterest.
