These Photos Prove Why Summer Is the Best Season of All

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.

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.

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.

When it's warm outside, taking a sip of an mocha iced coffee will always bring an immediate smile to your face. Even better when you're sipping out of your own sweet DIY mason jar!

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.

Whether you're a bridesmaid, bride, or guest, 'tis the season to put on your best dress and watch two lovebirds tie the knot.

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.

Independence Day illuminates the sky for all to see, offering up the most eye-catching and festive light show you'll see all year (save for New Year's Eve).
