Festive Spirits Party

Celebrate the 59th Arts Festival at a fabulous cocktail reception on Friday, July 11, 2025 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on the plaza at The Towers, 403 South Allen Street.

The event’s leading sponsor, Big Spring Spirits, will return to provide a selection of their distinctive locally-sourced craft cocktails. Shy Bear Brewing will offer their beers. And of course, the team from Catering with Style will once again serve their signature butlered hors d’oeuvres.

The acoustic duo of Ted McCloskey & Molly Countermine will provide the music.  Dress is casual, colorful, and fun… essentially what you’d normally wear to the Arts Festival on a Friday evening. 

Tickets are $150 per person. 

“I love the energy and conversations that I have each year at the party. It brings together a broad range of people. The food and drink are spectacular and the mood is perfect to kick off the weekend. I look forward to it every year.”  ~Dana M, 2023

“The Festive Spirits event is one of State College’s very best.”  ~Joe D, 2023
