It’s that time of year again: fall! And what better way to celebrate than with an outdoor, carnival-themed celebration? Penn State Brandywine’s annual Penn State Day festival will take place on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., on the campus grounds.
The fun-filled day will feature games for all ages, including a diaper derby and toddler trot, best dressed Penn Stater, a pumpkin painting and a pie-eating contest. The Nittany Lion will pose for photos with festivalgoers and can usually be found bustin’ a move on the dance floor when the live music gets rolling.
Penn State Day is free and open to the public and includes carnival-themed food, plus Penn State favorites like grilled stickies. Student clubs and organizations will offer information about their various activities on campus.
Before the event, the Blue and White Society will host a 5K on the campus cross country trail (more information below).
High schoolers considering college at Penn State Brandywine, are invited to attend a morning “Get to Know Us Program” from 9:45 a.m. to noon. Admissions staff will discuss what it takes to get accepted. Students will learn about the many academic and social opportunities on campus, take part in an application workshop explaining what to do when it's time to apply and get a student-led tour of the campus.
