First Night Fest

First Night Fest aims to create a fun and welcoming space for students to connect for the first time or say hello after a time apart! As we welcome students to SDSU, this event aims to create lasting memories with people who could be in their lives from here out. Students will enter to find a gaming area full of lawn games that require teamwork and collaboration. From there, they can get in line for a caricature drawing solo or with a friend, get a balloon art of their imagination, take fun photos with their friends at the photo booth, or head on down for everyone's favorite… FREE FOOD! Students can choose from Woodstock's Pizza, Churros, or Big Squeeze Hot Dogs. Between all the activities, they can take a break on the dance floor with a DJ! Students can participate in human bingo to receive an Aztec Nights key holder and wristlet to remind them of a fun night while also helping them not lose their ID cards (hopefully!).

Wanderlust

Inspired by the Wanderlust festival that takes place nationwide, we are creating a wellness event that goes beyond just the body, to include the mind and soul. Through sound baths, astrology readings, guided meditation and more students can explore different elements of wellness and make a plan for their own self-care journeys. While some activities will be higher intensity, like the yoga sculpt class, there will also be space in the “Zen Den” for students to relax and experience various vendors who care for the mind, body, and soul. Additionally, there will also be astrology readings, DIY activities centered around holistic health, and tables with unique foods.

WHEN: 9pm-12am
WHERE: Montezuma Hall, 2nd Floor, Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union
