Another Arts Fest has come and gone.

The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, lovingly referred to as “Arts Fest,” returned to Happy Valley from Wednesday, July 9, to Sunday, July 13. The event brought in thousands of Penn State students, alumni, and families for a hot and packed weekend in State College.

Our photographers were on the scene to capture all the excitement and amazing art.

As always, the streets were packed with visitors enjoying the sights.

There were countless opportunities to listen to live music and enjoy the sunny weather.

And of course, students returned to their favorite college bars and stores to hold them over until classes start.
