[Photo Story] Downtown State College Lights Up For The Holiday Season

It’s the most festive time of the year, folks!

The holiday season has officially arrived across Happy Valley, and the downtown decorations don’t disappoint. Many businesses have dressed up in beautiful holiday lights and seasonal displays. Our photographers wandered through the chilly winter night to capture the beauty of the holidays in State College.

The lights and decorations lining the downtown streets never disappoint.

Storefront window displays were merry and bright as usual. From shops to bars to restaurants to the theater, there’s no shortage of holiday spirit.

And, as always, Allen Street was glowing with festive cheer. From The Corner Room to the Christmas tree at the Allen Street Gates, the holiday spirit is never-ending downtown.

Happy Holiday from State College!
