Arts Fest 2026 is in the books!
The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, or “Arts Fest”, occurred once again in State College this Wednesday, July 8, to Sunday, July 11. Students, locals, and visitors from everywhere traveled to Happy Valley to experience the variety of art that gathered here over the weekend.
