Take it all in. The smell of the fresh State College summer air, the birds chirping, and seeing all of your friends for the first time in two months…Oh, and the incredible art!

Happy Arts Fest 2025! Arts Fest is one of the coolest times to be in State College, with hundreds of artists traveling from around the country to showcase their incredible creations. They are also joined by thousands of Penn State students eager to get back to their favorite bar or their apartment that doesn’t have air conditioning during the summer. Either way, it’s gonna be a blast.

With that being said, Onward State has you covered with some tunes for all of your festivities this weekend. Whether you are strolling through all of the vendors, realizing you are too broke to purchase anything… or you are celebrating being back with your best friends for the weekend, these songs are sure to get the positive vibes rolling.

With songs like “Heaven Takes You Home” by Swedish House Mafia or “House Party” by Sam Hunt, you’ll be sure to have all the good vibes this weekend. Have an awesome Arts Fest, folks!
