There are a lot of events going on in State College in July — including the first ever Ironman race in Happy Valley and the annual Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.

Many hotels in the area are totally booked — but there’s still some last-minute lodging up for grabs. The Centre Daily Times has rounded up a list of last-minute places to stay ahead of the Ironman 70.3 Pennsylvania Happy Valley race and Arts Fest weekend. As of Monday, these on average, per-night rates reflect two-day stays overlapping with these events. Taxes and fees are not included in the following estimates.

Ironman weekend

Saturday, July 1- Monday, July 3 (the race will take place on Sunday)

Arts Fest weekend

Friday, July 14-Sunday, July 16 (Arts Fest and the People’s Choice Festival at the Grange fairgrounds both take place July 13-16)
