The Downtown State College Improvement District will host its first May Day Art & Garden Walk on Friday and Saturday.
The event brings together more than a dozen local artists and artisans, displaying their work throughout downtown businesses. Local businesses and organizations also will be offering special May Day experiences.
“Following the success of our holiday art walk last year, we thought a similar spring event would be well received,” Downtown State College Improvement District executive director Lee Anne Jeffries says. “We decided to plan for the weekend of the first of May and focus the theme on spring renewal, so May Day was a natural fit. Other communities enjoy May Day by hanging fresh flower arrangements on their doors, so we thought we would start this annual tradition downtown and get the community involved.”
