Every year, colleges across the country host huge music festivals for their students. Typically occurring at the end of the academic year, they give students an opportunity to let loose before they leave campus. Sure, they are no Coachella or Lollapalooza, but many of these festivals host some of the biggest acts in the country.

Here are a few of the best college music festivals.

10. Ivies Weekend — Bowdoin College

Ivies Weekend is a 157-year-old Bowdoin tradition. Beginning all the way back in 1865, students celebrated the first “Ivy Day” by planting an ivy outside the College Chapel. The event also included a public address and the reading of a poem inside the chapel. Over the years, Ivy Day grew into a cherished tradition and, ultimately, into one of the major social events at the college. The college began hosting live music for Ivy Day in 1928. In its early years, Ivy Day featured some of the legends of jazz, including Duke Ellington (1928, 1932), Louis Armstrong (1936, 1967) and Miles Davis (1963). As Ivy Day changed with the passing generations, the festival developed into a full Ivies Weekend of celebrations, and continues to host some of the biggest names in popular music.

9. Spring Fling — University of Pennsylvania

Spring Fling, which is billed as the largest college music festival on the East Coast, attracts over 10,000 attendees every year for free food and music throughout the day and into the night. The event was hosted in the university Quad until just 2018, when it was moved to Penn Park’s South Field in an effort to increase turnout. In the festival’s 45-year history, it has featured everyone from Wyclef Jean to Sonic Youth. The most recent edition, which took on a “throwback” theme, brought in the All-American Rejects to perform some pop punk hits from the early 2000s.

8. #Fest — Ohio University

Every spring, Ohio University students celebrate the changing of the seasons with weekly block parties. Each weekend, one of the major streets in Athens hosts a “fest,” culminating in #Fest, a music festival that takes place on a big plot of farmland off campus. The festival has included some big names in recent years. The most recent was headlined by EDM artist Marshmello and Lil Uzi Vert.

7. Art Attack — University of Maryland

UMD’s Art Attack first occurred in 1985, featuring both student and contracted musicians, who performed in the UMD McKeldin Library. Over the years, it has featured legends like the Fugees, the Beastie Boys and funk icon George Clinton. The 2018 edition was headlined by Lil Yachty and Vince Staples. In 2018, Art Attack also hosted a Battle of the Bands event, which allowed six student acts to compete for an opening slot at the concert.

6. JazzReggae Fest — University of California, Los Angeles

For the past three decades, UCLA has been hosting JazzReggae Fest. The festival stands out for its focus on genres that are generally underrepresented in college music festivals. The festival primarily stages artists that are outside of the mainstream, but it has also hosted some of the biggest names in jazz and reggae, including Erykah Badu, the Roots and Damian Marley. JazzReggae Fest also showcases visual artists from the greater Los Angeles area, some of whom perform live painting. JazzReggae Fest is also notable for its commitment to sustainability; as a result, it was named one of the top four most sustainable music festivals by VH1 and DoSomething.org.

5. Sun God Festival — University of California, San Diego

Named after the Sun God statue located on the UCSD campus, the Sun God Festival has occurred every spring since 1990. Over the years, the festival has hosted a who’s who of artists spanning multiple genres. It has included the likes of N*E*R*D, Diplo, Roy Woods, Silversun Pickups, Damian Marley, and countless others. The festival’s most recent edition also gave student performers the opportunity to perform. Every year, the Sun God Festival also organizes a program to help the local San Diego community. In 2018, the festival collaborated with the Triton Food Pantry to organize the first ever Sun God For A Cause Food Drive.

4. Crawfest — Tulane University

Probably the most unique college festival out there, Crawfest is a cross between a music festival and an old-fashioned cajun crawfish boil. Every year, the festival, which is open to community members as well as students, brings over 20,000 pounds of crawfish and thousands of pounds of veggies to Tulane’s Uptown Campus. While Crawfest may not attract the blockbuster names that some of the other fests on this list do, there are two stages of live music featuring national and local acts. In 2018, the festival was headlined by the jam band Papadosio, the Baha Men (of “Who Let the Dogs Out” fame), and Brooklyn-based funk-electronic duo Brasstracks. For Tulane students and children under 12, the festival and bottomless crawfish are completely free.

3. Rites of Spring — Vanderbilt University

Every year in the heart of Music City, Nashville residents coordinate with Vanderbilt University students to put together Rites of Spring. The yearly festival began in the 1970s as a part of an “open campus” initiative to integrate the university with the local community. As a result, it is open to both Vanderbilt students and the Nashville public. The festival typically features local Nashville musicians, some small acts from around the country, and a couple of big name artists. In 2018, the festival was headlined by Gucci Mane. In previous years, Rites of Spring featured the Red Hot Chili Peppers (all the way back in 1989), Phoenix, Spoon, Drake, the Flaming Lips and others.

2. Slope Day — Cornell University

Every year, Cornell hosts Slope Day on campus the day after classes end. The festival is a true Cornell tradition. Its origins can be traced all the way back to 1890, when it was the Navy Ball and held in October. The Navy Ball eventually became Spring Day, which became the Sunshine Memorial Festival, which became Springfest, and then eventually Slope Day. The first Springfest was a university-sponsored chicken and beer barbecue held on Cornell’s Libe Slope in 1979. In 1986, when the drinking age in New York State was raised to 21, university officials attempted to move the festival to a fenced-in area on the North Campus. Thousands of students protested the move, launching a massive “Take Back the Slope” campaign. Since then, the event has been called “Slope Day,” and has grown into a massive festival that has featured the likes of Kanye West, Drake, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Chance the Rapper and others.

1. Dillo Day — Northwestern University

In 1972, a group of Northwestern University students from Texas organized the first Armadillo Day, a small celebration of the official animal of their home state. In 1981, a campus group organized a two-day outdoor concert on the shores of Lake Michigan featuring blues icon Muddy Waters and rockabilly revival singer Robert Gordon. The festival, run by the student group Mayfest Productions, is now the largest music festival in the country organized entirely by students, for students. And it just keeps growing. In recent years, Dillo Day has featured some of the biggest artists in pop music, including ScHoolboy Q, Joey Bada$$, MGMT, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa and others.
