Local news from StateCollege.com and Centre County Partners. Read about Downtown State College Improvement District Renewed for 5 More Years and more from the State College, PA region
May is just around the corner, and hoping to start the month off with community engagement, the Downtown State College Improvement District is organizing the May Day Art & Garden Walk this weekend.
The organization is teaming up with local businesses to showcase art and flowers from 5-8 p.m. Friday and from 12-5 p.m. Saturday throughout the streets and plazas of town.
Lee Anne Jeffries, the executive director of Downtown State College Improvement District, said her goal is to bring more people downtown, which she said has been difficult to accomplish during the pandemic.
After organizing a holiday art walk in December, Jeffries said the retail advisory committee proposed a similar event in the spring.
