What is Spring Fling?
Spring Fling is Yale's largest student-run event, a day-long music festival that takes place on Old Campus every Spring. Every year, the Spring Fling committee spends the entire year planning, choosing the lineup, and organizing the festival.
What does the Spring Fling committee do?
The Spring Fling Committee is the student group that plans and throws Spring Fling! As a branch of Yale College Council, the committee is in charge of deciding on the lineup and planning all of the logistics for the festival. We also throw a number of events throughout the year: Battle of the Bands, the lineup release party, Tiny Dorms, our performance series of live studio recordings of student bands, and The Dock, our DJ competition.
