Jagapalooza

Celebrate at Jagapalooza

Step on up for the 10th annual Jagapalooza. On April 28, 2023, you and your guests can unwind before finals week with carnival rides, games, novelty artists, food trucks, and more.

Jagapalooza was established in 2013 and has grown in size and spirit throughout the last decade. The biggest pride point being that the campus-wide event is planned and executed by students on the Student Activities Programming Board and supported by the Division of Student Affairs.
