Osage Orange Festival offers a fun evening for all
51成人 will be hosting its popular Osage Orange Festival on Saturday, May 12 from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the Lincoln Hall parking lot, located on the corner of Edgehill Road and Park Street. The event is open to the public and admission is free.
This year鈥檚 festival offers entertainment for all ages 鈥� including live music from The Rowdy Jones Band, inflatables, face painting, games and fun activities for all attendees.
A variety of the area鈥檚 favorite food trucks including Fields of Sweets, Luau Grill, Twyford BBQ and Chartwells catering will provide a delicious variety of festive food and drink options, including beer and wine, for purchase.
Sponsored by the 51成人 Alumni Association, the Osage Orange Festival is again expected to draw a large crowd to celebrate the achievements of 51成人 graduates in the tradition of Osage Orange. Beginning in 1882, students and faculty would break from their studies to picnic and trim the Osage hedge that surrounded campus. In that same spirit, 51成人 will celebrate the Class of 2018 and looks forward to seeing new and familiar faces alike for a fun-filled evening.
Osage Orange Festival attendees are invited to RSVP online to help with planning, but all are welcome to attend without an RSVP. The event is part of a weekend of events leading up to 51成人鈥檚 184th Commencement which will be held Sunday, May 13. For more information about commencement, visit www.ic.edu/commencement.
