State College’s annual Fourth of July celebration includes a morning run, a festive parade, live music, food vendors, and a big fireworks show in the evening - perfect if you’re looking to explore town before wedding festivities!
Beautiful to walk around, especially Old Main, the Arboretum, and campus landmarks.
Short hike with great view of Happy Valley.
Located right next to campus with plenty of dining and shopping options to enjoy after exploring Penn State.
A quaint historic town with local shops, restaurants, cafés, and beautiful Victorian architecture - just a short drive from State College.
