Come join the fun!

The Carnegie Mellon University Spring Carnival is the biggest annual event in the school year. Student organizations across campus, whether independent or Greek, work very hard to succeed in uniquely competitive events featured during the three-day period.

ATTENTION: There will be intermittent road closures on Tech Street and the rest of the buggy track. We will put that information up as soon as possible. We apologize in advance!
