Summer has arrived, and across Hawthorne communities, we’re getting ready for one of our favorite traditions of the year: The Hawthorne Experience Pool Party Weekend. At Hawthorne, we believe home should be more than a place you return to at the end of the day. It should be a place where friendships are formed, memories are made, and life feels a little fuller. That’s the idea behind the Hawthorne Experience—creating opportunities for connection through thoughtfully curated events, meaningful partnerships, and the moments that make a place feel like home.
Few things capture that spirit quite like summer. Longer days, poolside conversations, and afternoons that stretch a little longer than planned have a way of turning neighbors into friends. That’s what makes The Hawthorne Experience Pool Party Weekend one of our favorite traditions of the year.
Each year, communities across the Hawthorne portfolio come together to celebrate summer, connect with neighbors, and create the kind of moments that turn a place to live into a place that feels like home. This year, we’re making the experience even sweeter.
To celebrate summer, we’re bringing together great people, great places, and a few of our favorite brands. This year’s celebration will feature scoops of Jeni’s Ice Cream in our signature Live It Refresher Floats, adding a little extra sweetness to one of our favorite summer traditions.
The fun doesn’t stop when Pool Party Weekend comes to an end. We’re also partnering with Shibumi for a summer experience giveaway. One lucky resident will win a Shibumi Shade and two Shibumi Chairs—bringing a little piece of summer with them to the beach, the lake, or wherever their next adventure takes them.

What excites us most isn’t the ice cream, the giveaway, or even the event itself—it’s the moments that happen around them. A conversation that starts over a float. A neighbor you finally get a chance to meet. An afternoon that turns into an evening because nobody is quite ready for it to end. Those are the moments that bring a community to life.
That’s the Hawthorne Experience—and the reason we look forward to Pool Party Weekend year after year. Pool Party Weekend is one example of that philosophy in action. The same spirit can be found in the everyday moments that make a community feel welcoming, connected, and memorable.
This summer, we’re excited to bring together great people, great places, and a few of our favorite brands to create what we hope will be our sweetest summer yet. We’ll save you a scoop.
