Springfest is the longest running annual event on campus. This event features such traditions as a giant banana split in a canoe, an outdoor activities fair, and cougar karaoke. Each year features a different theme which is accompanied by themed events. This year some of the tropical themed events are a volcano building contest, Survivor on the Quad, and a treasure hunt! The week will wrap up with Party in the Park at the Edwardsville City Park. The event will include inflatables, wax hands, a caricaturist, a band, and food and drinks from local vendors. Springfest concludes on Saturday with Mud Volleyball. If you’re not afraid to get dirty, gather up your closest friends and enter this unique contest.
