SPRING FLING
TWO DAYS OF FUN
Since 1973, Spring Fling has been the ultimate student festival at Penn. The annual Spring Fling tradition has evolved into a two-day event: the night time Concert on Friday and the Daytime Festival on Saturday afternoon. Since its inception, Spring Fling at Penn has served as the traditional weekend celebration before final exams. Now approaching its 51st year, Spring Fling has grown tremendously to include a variety of entertainment. Attracting crowds of up to 10,000 students, it is recognized as one of the largest college festival on the East Coast. This school year, Spring Fling will be on April 16-17, 2027.
DAY 1: SPRING FLING CONCERT
Friday night features a concert with numerous artists (typically two to three) at Penn Park. Attendees will have to purchase tickets for this event. Follow @specconcerts to stay in the loop.
DAY 2: SPRING FLING DAYTIME FESTIVAL
The weekend culminates with a full-size carnival on Saturday afternoon. From 12 to 5 pm, students head to Penn Park again for a themed festival, featuring a variety of activities, student performances, giveaways, and local food vendors (all free and prepaid by SPEC). From live music to activities like inflatables, all members of Penn’s undergraduate community can find something that they enjoy and want to come out for.
