The first day of Summer is June 21, and what better way to celebrate the kickoff than with a festival? Unlike any other event you'll attend this year, POPSUGAR Play/Ground is two full days packed with inspiring chats with our favorite celebrities and other influential woman, workouts from the fitness gurus who motivate us, pop-up shopping with the hottest brands out there, and tons more eye-catching experiences at every turn.
