Get ready as Llamapalooza, our annual art and music festival, is almost here, and this year is going to be the best one yet! The Llamapalooza Planning Committee has put a ton of effort into making this year’s event happen, and we have lots of updates for you! First things first, this year’s festival is on Saturday, May 9! We are so excited to share all of it with you. We have a couple of new events, old traditions coming back, and an awesome music lineup! Make sure you read everything in this email to get the full low down!

 

Here’s everything you need to know:

SPIKEBALL TOURNAMENT

And now, for maybe our biggest announcement…

 

COUCHES?!?

Once a staple of Llamapalooza and senior year, but gone for a couple years, we worked hard to allow seniors to bring couches back! There are a couple of requirements to bring a couch to Llamapalooza:

1. Be a senior. 

2. Live off campus, NOT in a senior cottage. (We don’t want any CC couches ending up at Llamapalooza)

3. Have a couch you are okay leaving at the festival.

4. Sign up to apply for your couch spot here!
