What began as two separate spring events, Spring Fling on the Foggy Bottom campus and Fountain Day on the Mount Vernon campus, were combined two years ago into one big extravaganza, featuring a mechanical bull, tie-dying tshirts, a free cookout and free ice cream, popcorn, and cotton candy. Unfortunately due to the rain today, it was moved from the Vern's quad to the Llyodd Gym and the parking garage... which was interesting. A festival in a parking garage? Who'dve thought?

Party in the parking garage?!?!
And of course, the best part of Fountain Fling... the concert! Past years have featured Gym Class Heroes, Regina Spektor, and Ok Go, to name a few. This year featured State Radio, a band from Boston. The concert was also part of the national Save My Oceans tour aimed at reducing the use of plastics and the polluting of the oceans.
