The student-led effort to host an end of the year music festival on May 4 will officially be called “Revelry,” according to Associated Students of Madison Vice Chair Maria Giannopoulos.
The event, which would be held on the same day as the Mifflin Street Block Party, would be a music and arts festival held near Randall Avenue in the Union South area. Student leaders across campus have been planning the event since late November.
Giannopoulos said the Executive Team of planners and student leaders wanted the name to reflect the “lively” nature of the event.
“It really shows what we want to get across with the festival,” Giannopoulos said. “Giving it a lively tone will make it something [students] want to go to.”
Giannopoulos also said the team is looking into potential funding sources, which could include corporate sponsorships in addition to university dollars. She added that currently less than 2 percent of the funding will come directly from student segregated fees.
