Cancellation of 2024 Sun God Festival

It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of the Sun God Festival, originally scheduled to take place on May 4, 2024, at RIMAC Field.
This decision was not made lightly. Due to ongoing protest activity adjacent to Library Walk, our campus security resources that would otherwise be available to ensure the safety and security of the people participating in Sun God must be deployed elsewhere to support the overall security of our students, faculty, staff and visitors, and ensure the continuity of operations and the fulfillment of our academic mission. Unfortunately, this means we cannot simultaneously provide the necessary security oversight for the Sun God Festival.
We know that this event is a beloved campus tradition and understand the disappointment that this decision causes for many. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our campus community.
