Spring Fair, a Hopkins tradition since 1971, takes place this weekend from April 15th at noon to April 17th at 6 p.m. It is one of the largest student-run university fairs in the nation.
The festivities kick off with fireworks and music on Thursday evening at 9:30 p.m. in front of Levering.
As usual, Spring Fair comes with a whirlwind of activities, tastes, sounds and vendors. Food vendors will be set up in the Freshmen Quad, arts and crafts in the Upper Quad, and a community marketplace in the Lower Quad.
A sample of the food that will be available at Spring Fair includes: Constantine’s Greek Kitchen, I Love Thai, India Tandoor, Everything bout Crepes, Sherri’s Fun Food and more.
The arts and crafts vendors are both local and national and will be selling things as diverse as nail files, chairs, hats, fudge and tote bags, among other products.
The community marketplace features different student and business groups: Zipcar, The Princeton Review, the Undergraduate Chess Club and the Office of Multicultural Affairs, to name a few.
The Beer Garden in the President’s Lawn is always a huge hit. Those over 21 are eligible to enter. Different student groups will have tables set up with a different type of beer at each table, and tickets can be exchanged for beer.
There are all sorts of events that will run throughout the weekend including airbrush unlimited face painting, the Sound Body Challenge, Bill the Magician and various others hosted by Hopkins student groups.
The newest Spring Fair tradition is a music festival featuring multiple stages set up in front of Levering Hall with local and national acts performing all day.
This event is open to the public and free for everyone and runs until 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and until 6 p.m. on Sunday.
