By Jimmy Madden THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Fireworks, carnival events, amusement rides, and a human cannon all await those who plan on attending 4th Fest this year. The annual 4th of July celebra- tion has been rated one of the top fireworks displays in Pennsyl- vania and the country, and this year the festivities are looking to be the largest, longest, and most ambitious in recent years, ac- cording to 4thfest.org. The event estimates to draw somewhere between 60,000-80,000 people to the State College area, mak- ing it akin to Blue and White weekend in terms of popular- ity, first year 4th Fest Execu- tive Director Karl Libhart said. The biggest change this year will be the starting time of events, as the festival has been extended to a two-day occasion. Beginning at approximately 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 3, there will be amusement rides and live entertainment at the east- ern fields near the Bryce Jordan Collegian File Photo Center and Beaver Stadium.
