Get ready for Spring Jam 2002: “Fiesta Del Sol!” Planned and implemented by the Student Unions Programs and Activities (SUPA) board with the help of many sponsors, Spring Jam is the largest campus-wide celebration at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus. The weeklong festival consists of concerts, multicultural exhibits and performances, Gopher Athletics fan appreciation events, sport tournaments, movies, student dance and band competitions, and the campus block party. Most events are free to students. Spring Jam is an alcohol-free event. Purchase Spring Jam gear like Nalgene® water bottles, bandanas and jersey t-shirts throughout the week!
