Your Guide To Downtown Halloween Bar Events & Specials
Happy Halloween, folks!
With all the tricks, like exhausting midterms and a noon game this weekend, it’s time to focus on all the treats that come with Halloweekend: dressing up in costumes and drinking all weekend. For 21+ students and residents, the weekend also entails going out to the many lively downtown State College bars.
From costume contests to bar specials to live music, these bars cooked up the perfect recipe for a spooky and active weekend.
