Community Invited to Inaugural Saint Leo University Spring Jam Festival, April 25
Saturday event to offer entertainment, food, and activities for community members of all ages
ST. LEO, Fla. (April 7, 2026) – Saint Leo University is starting a new campus tradition with its first Spring Jam, a weeklong celebration for students culminating in a free, public festival on Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The community event will feature amusement rides, yard games, food trucks, and local vendors, offering a full day of family-friendly activities.
“We are proud to introduce a new spring tradition that celebrates our students while welcoming families and neighbors to experience Saint Leo,” said Curtis Burton, vice president of student affairs.
The public festival will take place in the Bowl on Saint Leo’s main campus, the greenspace behind the Student Community Center. Free parking is available under the Jody Luihn Family Stadium.
Saturday’s event caps a series of Spring Jam activities from April 20–24, bringing together the Saint Leo community in a shared celebration ahead of final exams. Student-focused events scheduled from Monday through Thursday will emphasize relaxation and fun, including massage chairs and a “make your own” sugar scrub station. On Friday evening, students can enjoy Moonlight Breakfast, a Saint Leo tradition, along with live entertainment and laser tag.
