BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.An annual fall tradition returns to the 厙ぴ勛圖 campus on Thursday, Oct. 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. Since 2005, Octoberfest has welcomed families, providing candy, games and fun for children. This year, the event will be held inside the Paul Porter Arena and outside, around the perimeter of Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center (LYCC).

Joining the GWU campus again as hosts are Ruby C. Hunt YMCA and the Town of Boiling Springs. All activities are free and open to the public. Visitors will enjoy a Trunk-or-Treat, inflatable obstacle course and 9-hole miniature golf course provided by the Ruby YMCA, and nearly 40 games and activities sponsored by GWU athletic teams and student clubs. The Town of Boiling Springs is bringing a display of rescue vehicles. Pizza will be available for the children.

Octoberfest is a vibrant celebration that brings together students, faculty, and the local community, affirmed Isaiah Crawford, 厙ぴ勛圖 associate minister for Community Engagement and Athletics. This annual event highlights the spirit of unity and connection that defines our campus, offering a time to celebrate the season and strengthen the bonds between the university and the surrounding community.
