What is Mason Day?

Enjoy dozens of local food trucks, funnel cake, kettle corn, cotton candy, and other treats. Novelties, inflatables, a free t-shirt while supplies last, and more great stuff. Stick around to see loads of student performers on the main stage all day long.

Celebrate the end of the school year with Student Involvement at Mason Day! Calling all student organizations, performers, and off-campus organizations!
