Campus Departments can indicate which of the two locations they would prefer on the Festifall application. Currently, campus departments can only sign up for one of the locations. All campus departments will receive confirmation of their table location and assignment in mid-August.

Cost:

Campus Departments will be charged $50 to their department shortcode to participate in Festifall this year.


What You'll Get:

Every department will have a 6ft rectangular table and 2 chairs. For those participating in Festifall-North, you may bring larger materials for display, as each organization will have roughly 6 ft of space between them and other organizations. For those participating in Festifall-Central, all of your materials must fit on or immediately behind your table.

Arriving and Checking In:

When you arrive at Festifall, all you need to do is find your assigned table and start setting up! We will come around and check you in. A map with your table location will be provided when you receive your table assignment email. Departments may start setting up their tables 30 minutes before the event begins.
 

Departing Festifall:

Once your department has wrapped up, please make sure to take all of your materials with you. If we find that your department has left materials on your table, you may be charged a $75 misuse fee.


Please check the list of Festifall Rules and Policies!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should my department bring to Festifall?

Lots of groups will bring a poster or some sort of display that highlights the department. Additionally, having both a paper sign-up sheet and/or a flyer with a QR code that links to an interest form where interested individuals can sign up for more updates is recommended. Tablecloths always make things look neat and tidy as well!
 

Can we pass out food or drinks?

Any food/beverage needs to be individually packaged. For example, handing out individual slices of pizza is not OK, but individually packaged granola bars are fine.
 

Do we have to stay the whole time?

We strongly recommend that your department has a representative at your table for the duration of the program, as you never know when interested individuals will arrive!
 

Will we have access to electricity? 

No - organizations and departments will not have power access for Festifall.
 

Can we play music over a speaker, use microphones/megaphones, etc?

No - amplified sound is not permitted at Festifall. 
 

What if it rains?

Please prep for rain - just in case. Festifall is a rain-or-shine event. If the weather is untenable, the event will be cancelled.
