Organizers of “Revelry,” the new end-of-the-year campus celebration, announced Friday the event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 4.
Student leaders from the Wisconsin Union Directorate have planned the music and arts festival to give University of Wisconsin-Madison students an official event on campus with headlining artists to celebrate at the end of the semester, according to a press release from “Revelry” Spokesperson Bess Donoghue.
WUD President Sarah Mathews said in the release “Revelry” is not anti-Mifflin, despite the events falling on the same day.
The Associated Students of Madison have supported and endorsed the event but, according to the release, will likely only provide about one percent of funding for “Revelry,” with private sources providing most of the money.
Additionally, the release said tickets will tentatively go on sale April 5. Once inside the event students age 21 or over can buy alcohol.
