Do you have anything planned the weekend of October 10th-13th? If not, KEEP IT THAT WAY. If so, CANCEL EVERYTHING. Seriously, there is by far too many things going on in this one weekend for you to miss out because you have to get your cat neutered or something. Ladies and gents.. it’s Fall Festival, a time when the entirety of UMass Lowell will come together to celebrate how far we’ve come as a university and as a community. We’ll do our best to give you a preview of what’s going on, but reading about it on a blog doesn’t nearly compare to being a part of the action.
