Celebrate another academic year and a historic anniversary at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point next week with a free community event, full of food, music and more.

The Point in Time Festival, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first Student Union at UW-Stevens Point, will take place on Friday, May 9, from 6-10 p.m., between the Dreyfus University Center and Old Main, Reserve St, Stevens Point.

This event, open to the public, will feature free live music, food, and carnival games. Festival music performances will include Wisconsin artists Tae and the Neighborly, Chicken Wire Empire, and Sheebie and the Lovemakers. The campus will celebrate the history of campus activities with student-operated activities including carnival games and bounce houses.

“The Point in Time Festival is a re-imagination of an event we held in the past called Copper Fountain Fest, and I’m excited that we’re bringing something like that back for our students and community,” said Michelle Miller, associate director for programs in the UWSP University Centers.

Miller says the event is a great way to celebrate the end of the academic year.

“Campus Activities and Student Engagement wants to provide fun and engaging opportunities,” said Miller. “That’s why we do what we do.”
