Who doesn’t love a night out on the town in State College?

LION Bash returned to the downtown area yesterday, giving residents and community members a chance to get out and enjoy a beautiful late-summer evening. The annual event combines a neighborhood block party with an engagement fair that encourages folks to get involved with local organizations.

Our visual staff was at the event to capture the sights and sounds.

There was a slate of energetic live music throughout the evening to keep the vibes high on Allen Street.

Various members of the community came out to share what their groups and organizations had to offer.

The Nittany Lion even made an appearance to take photos with attendees.

There were also fun and engaging activities for all ages at the event.

It’s safe to say LION Bash 2023 was a great time for all.
