Hampdenfest September 14, 2013
Wednesday, August 28th, 2013 by The Professor
We’re rolling back into Hampden for the 2013 Hampdenfest! Unfortunately our eating machine Alex Fili has graduated and can’t interrupt her dental studies to join us for a threepeat in the Bread Pudding Eating Contest. We are seeking a worthy successor now…
As always Hampdenfest brings music, dancing, eating, drinking, toilet bowl races, and Hampden Idol. WLOY will be at Roland & 36th Street.
And Loyola shuttles to get students on site. This is a great way to explore a new community for all you first year students! Pickup behind Boulder at 10am, 1pm and 4pm with drop off and pickup at 36th & Keswick by the festival. Last return from Hampden at 7pm. That’s a FREE shuttle 🙂
Click the image for the full band and event list – it’s a blast!
