MASON DAYS!
April 23 & 24, 2021

Mason Day is the longest running tradition here at George Mason University! Its the most awesome way to celebrate the end of the school year with your friends. Students enjoy dozens of local food trucks, funnel cake, kettle corn, cotton candy, and other treats. Novelties, inflatables, a free t-shirts, and more great stuff. There are student performances all day long, followed by a headliner concert at night.

This year, we are so excited to continue the tradition with Mason DAYS! We are spreading out the fun and keeping it social by having two days of Mason Day! We’ll still have all the best elements of Mason Day, with food trucks, music, novelties, free stuff, and fun games and activities – and we’re keeping it safe for everyone! Check out all of the awesome stuff we are bringing to you and register to choose your Mason Day Adventure today!

Choose Your Mason Days Adventure

Mason Days is taking place over two days this year, and in two locations! We’re keeping it socially distant and safe, and we’re still going to have loads of fun.

The concert experience will take place on Mason Pond near the Center for the Arts. Here, you’ll register for a seat for one of our two days of concerts on the Mason Pond Lawn. The show is different each day, but we’ll have two shows per day of the same artists. Check out concert line ups here (link coming soon!). While you’re seated in pods of up to four, you’ll be served a meal from one of our food trucks – FREE this year! Enjoy your meal and chill talking and hanging out with friends. While you’re sitting and relaxing, you could be visited by a balloon artist, caricaturist, magician, or other fun things. And, everyone that registers for the concert experience gets an exclusive Mason Day baseball-style t-shirt!

Walk across the street to Lot K, and you’ll find two other areas to have fun! We have a tie dye experience with a commemorative Mason Day tee to do up just how you want. Then, visit the amusements area and play giant inflatable games and grab a sweet treat from our carnival food trucks.

All events are FREE for all students, and require registration. Check out our registration page for more info!

From this ticket, you’ll choose your food truck, and choose your meal. You’ll also give us your t-shirt size. Next, you’ll be asked about group seating registration. You can choose who you are going to sit with in your group seating of up to 4. Here are the details:
