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

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.

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.)
