As the spring semester comes to a close many Penn Staters are filled with complex emotions. Sadness, anxiousness, lingering anticipation, eagerness. All normal feelings associated with this next period of students’ lives remind us that the end of the semester simply means it’s time to move on. And what better way to move on than Penn State’s 48th annual Movin’ On Festival!
Movin’ On is one of the most anticipated Penn State events of the year. The annual event is intended as a free celebration to wish off all graduating students as they start “movin’ on.” The music event is brought by a collaboration of student organizations such as ARHS, SPA and UPUA.
Movin’ On will be on April 28 at the IM Fields—gates will open at 3:30 p.m. The 48th annual festival will be headlined by J.I.D, COIN, Neon Trees, UPSAHL and Mellow Honey.
