State Patty’s weekend was created by students in 2007 who wanted to celebrate the holiday early. Since its creation almost 20 years ago, the celebration’s popularity has grown immensely, making partying on State Patty’s weekend a Penn State tradition.

Every year, stores downtown hop onto the trend and start selling a variety of Saint Patrick’s day merch weeks before the holiday itself. With the weekend approaching, we came up with some ideas for State Patty’s merch we want to see.
