Founded in 1994, First Night State College has a long history as a beloved community event known for its outstanding displays of carved ice; ice-carvers in action; musical and theatrical performances in downtown theaters, places of worship, and public spaces; the 5K Resolution Run; and art, craft, and performance workshops for kids and adults.
A grand procession with life-size puppets and indoor and outdoor resolution sculptures and activities are also popular elements of the First Night State College tradition.
The event is an alcohol-free alternative New Year's Eve celebration for families of all kinds, with a fun and uplifting atmosphere in downtown State College to usher in the new year.
