2nd Annual “Summer is for the Locals” Townie Takeover at Champs Downtown

May 15 @ 4:00 pm 7:00 pm EDT

FREE

Rediscover State College

6316813128

The shift that happens every year when students pack up for the semester and head out of town is palpable. Summer in State College is laid back, spacious, and peaceful – the perfect balance to the busy, vibrant energy of the school year. (And how cool to live in a town that gets to have it both ways?!) If you’re downtown during the semester, the line of students waiting to get into Champs is probably a familiar sight. But after graduation, while the students are away, the locals get to play! So we’re once again taking over this popular student hotspot for our locals-centric summer kickoff celebration.

 

Who is this event for? Rediscover State College exists to help those making the move to town. Our concierge service, blog, podcast, and newsletter are all aimed at keeping future residents in the loop about what’s going on around town and offering ways to make the actual move itself more streamlined and less stressful.

But we also love to help those who are new to town get plugged in and find their people – and stir up lots of local pride while we’re at it! (Our merch line was created with that purpose in mind.)

This event is for locals old and new, with a special invitation to those who are newer around town. If that’s you, we hope you’ll come introduce yourself and let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you get settled and connected!

What to expect?

Champs will be serving up drink specials and spoiling us with food treats throughout the evening. (Menu reveal coming soon!) For those who want to get mingle-y with a purpose, we’ll have a game for you to get into upon your arrival that’ll help you connect with others at the event.

On a downtown post-graduation Friday evening, the vibe will be super laid back. Come and stay or come and go and bring your friends!

If you’re new to town, our team will be on hand to answer any questions or to provide an intro to other awesome locals who are there at the event too.

Entry is free, all are welcome, and we hope you’ll come celebrate the start of State College summer with us!
