With the semester coming to a close and finals week just around the corner, sometimes you really need to escape all the schoolwork for a little and give your brain a rest. If you’re like us, nothing helps relax the mind while also sparking inspiration more than a day of shopping … well you’re in luck because Pop Up Ave is returning to State College just before finals week.
It’s Back!
Pop Up Ave is a free event that will be held on Saturday, April 27, at the 100 block of South Fraser Street. Stop by anytime between 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and check out everything this amazing event has to offer.

So Much To Shop
