Student Involvement

IVth-Night

Welcome to IVth-Night

IVth night is an annual tradition named in honor of our University’s namesake, George Mason the Fourth. Come hang out with us for our fall carnival cohosted with Mason Recreation and Mason Athletics. Join your fellow students at The RAC Field for free food, carnival games with AMAZING prizes, DIY activities, inflatables, and a rock wall. But wait, there’s more. Have your picture drawn, get an airbrushed tattoo, don a crown of balloons or cuddle a balloon animal, vibe with the DJ, and make sure you arrive early to get your Mason Fight Song t-shirt! Then, head over to the men’s soccer game versus UVA.

Don’t forget to stick around afterwards for the fireworks show following the soccer game.
