Hullabaloo -- UVU's Fall Festival

What better way to kick off the year than with a Fall Festival? We obviously thought it was a great idea, too. With five bands, three food trucks, and over ten vendors, we threw UVU's first annual Hullabaloo -- UVU's Fall Festival. Five local bands came out to perform; Steve Michels, Robert and the Carrolls, The Brocks, and Vanladylove. Each band brought their own unique style to the stage and were loved by all.


On the third floor of the parking garage hundreds of students gathered to take a break from homework, enjoy some waffle lovin', listen to some of the most popular local bands, and to meet new friends. The Truth, a local quit smoking campaign received a lot of attention with their photo booth. They were able to get hundreds of pledges signed stating they would either continue to not smoke, or to quit smoking. We were more than happy to support this cause. 


According to the talk on the block, The Brocks won many unofficial awards including, "most attractive band award" as well as the "most hipster and chill music award". The Brock drew the largest crowd and seemed to be loved by all. After they performed, they were very sociable and approachable. Many students took pictures with them and were excited for their next showing. 


We were definitely able to go home that night knowing that we pulled off a successful event. With hundreds of students in attendance, happy vendors, and tired bands, we were able to call it a good night. Thanks to everyone who came out to support the Hullabaloo -- UVU's Fall Festival! Remember, Stop Being Boring! We look forward to seeing everyone at our next event!

Stop Being Boring


The Utah Valley University Student Alumni Association is a student led leadership organization dedicated to improving your experience at Utah Valley University. 
As an organization, we build loyalty on campus, educate students on what it means to be alumni, connect students and alumni, encourage to contribute, and create professional leaders. 



In the past, UVUSAA has not had a very prominent place on campus. In fact, most students wouldn't even know that our University even has a Student Alumni Association. We made this one of our goals to brand our organization and get our name out there. Our number one goal is to engage students and improve their experience at UVU. We came up with the Stop Being Boring campaign to help students get out of their comfort zones and come back to UVU after classes and attend the events that are planned for them.




We plan on throwing a variety of events, in order to reach out to all types of students. UVUSAA has a membership program, where you can join for $20.00 and in return receive a years membership, swag, and free entry to all our events, including exclusive member only events. To join you can visit http://uvualumni.org/joinsaa and sign up there. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and remember, STOP BEING BORING.
