Ice Sculptures

First Night State College is well known for having one of the largest displays of ice sculpture in Pennsylvania. Our team of ice sculptors erect large ice walls on the 100 block of South Allen Street and carve them into a fantastic array of fun and creative designs. No visit to First Night State College is complete without checking them out and taking a photo or two.

Our Ice Slide  – especially popular with children – is located in Sidney Friedman Park.  The Ice Slide is sponsored by State College Borough.

This year’s giant ice carvings are sponsored by:

DiamondBack Covers
Excelis Leadership Consulting
Geisinger
Stuckey Mitsubishi
PSECU
Tire Town

This glittering display is only temporary. Our giant ice sculptures on South Allen Street come down at 6:00 pm on New Year’s Day, unless Mother Nature melts them sooner.
