First Night State College is seeking a few more local businesses and organizations to help bring this beloved community celebration to life!
Each year, thousands of residents and visitors gather downtown on December 31 to ring in the New Year with dazzling ice sculptures, live performances, the festive 5K Resolution Run, and family-friendly fun for all ages. The event has become one of Centre County’s most cherished holiday traditions—drawing positive attention to our vibrant downtown and the businesses that make it thrive.
Sponsorships for this year’s event are still available, but the deadline to participate is quickly approaching on October 31. Sponsoring a one-block ice sculpture—just $370—is one of the most popular and visible ways to show community support. Larger sponsorship opportunities are also available for multi-block sculptures carved live by talented artists, entertainment venues and performances, our interactive Resolution Sculptures, and other unique event features.
Your sponsorship helps keep this alcohol-free, family-centered celebration affordable for everyone while showcasing your business to thousands of attendees in person and online.
To learn more or become a sponsor, visit FirstNightStateCollege.com or contact Jennifer Shuey, Director of Development at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, at jshuey@arts-festival.com or (814) 237-3682.
