What could be better then Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween combined? Why Spring Fling of course! Students at Temple University have made Spring Fling the Universities unofficial national holiday.
The day begins early in the morning with booths and tables set up along with a stage by the bell tower and many other activities. All the streets through campus are shut down to stage the enormous festival. Along with all the festive activities, Spring Fling is also a time for many of the schools SPO’s (Student Professional Organization) to make their voice heard by fundraising and sharing their culture among the students. I liken the event as a cross breed between a music festival and carnival where almost everyone is between the ages 18-22.
