Grow a Garden Summer Part 4: Start Time, Countdown & What’s Coming

Updated August 23, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 30K playing now

Summer is a seasonal event that returns to Grow a Garden on a regular weekly rhythm, layering warm-weather rewards, new plants and pets, and a beach-themed activity on top of the game’s usual farming loop. Grow a Garden remains one of the busiest experiences on Roblox, with about 30,000 players tending gardens at any given moment and more than about 36,000,000,000 visits to date, so each Summer session draws a crowd the moment it opens.

Rather than a one-off drop, Summer comes back on a set schedule, with the developer expanding it in parts. The most recent session, Summer Part 4, is the one the developer billed as the finale of this summer’s run. Working from that same weekly rhythm, our best estimate for the next session is Saturday, August 29 at 4:30 PM ET; we confirm it once the developer posts the details.

How often Summer runs and when

Summer runs weekly. Each session begins on Saturdays at 4:30 PM ET, giving players a predictable slot they can plan around from one week to the next. Summer Part 4, billed as the finale of this summer’s run, is the most recent session; with nothing further posted yet, Saturday, August 29 at 4:30 PM ET is our best estimate for the next one based on that weekly rhythm.

That start time is quoted in Eastern Time, but Grow a Garden’s audience is worldwide, so a single ET slot lands at very different hours depending on where you play. Here is how the 4:30 PM ET Saturday window falls across the major regions:

  • Pacific (US): 1:30 PM (Saturday)
  • Eastern (US): 4:30 PM (Saturday)
  • UK (BST): 9:30 PM (Saturday)
  • Central Europe (CEST): 10:30 PM (Saturday)
  • India (IST): 2:00 AM (Sunday)
  • Japan (JST): 5:30 AM (Sunday)
  • Eastern Australia (AEST): 6:30 AM (Sunday)

What happens in Summer

Each Summer session leans into a beach-and-tide theme, and Part 4 closes out the run with more additions on top of what earlier parts introduced. A typical session includes:

  • A new summer mini-activity to take part in while the session is live
  • Fresh event pets to collect
  • New season-themed plants to grow
  • Rewards earned by joining in
  • Quality-of-life improvements folded in alongside the new content

Because the developer built Summer out in parts, each session layered onto what came before rather than resetting it, and Part 4 brings that build-up to a close as the finale.

Tips for catching it

  • The Saturday afternoon slot is convenient for players across the Americas and Europe; if it lands overnight where you are, use the regional times above to plan around it.
  • Log in near the start to grab the newest pets and plants before the session settles into its rhythm.
  • Part 4 was billed as the finale, so no further session is locked in yet — the card above shows our best estimate for the next start time from the weekly rhythm, and it firms up the moment the developer posts one.

How Summer fits the game’s rhythm

Grow a Garden runs a steady rotation of events, and Summer is the current seasonal centrepiece. The developer already has the next Update lined up alongside it. Summer’s fixed weekly cadence makes it one of the easier events to build a routine around as the others come and go.
