Your Guide To Movin’ On 2024
It’s almost time to rage, folks.
Penn State’s end-of-the-year music festival Movin’ On is slated for the last day of classes on Friday, April 26.
Every year, one of the largest student-run music festivals takes place on the IM Fields for students to hang out, listen to music, and celebrate the end of the year. The festival gives seniors one last goodbye as they ~move on~ from Penn State and take on the real world.
Get your rave fits together and check out our guide below before attending one of the most-anticipated events of the year.
The Details
Gates will open at 3:30 p.m. along with vendors, inflatables, food trucks, and activities offered all day, and the festival will end promptly at 10:30 p.m. The festival is located at the IM Fields near Jeffrey Field in the east corner of campus.
Admission is free for those at least 18 years old, however, you must have your student ID or a government-issued ID handy for when you get to the gates.
In addition to drugs and alcohol, pets, lawn chairs, balls, tents, video recording, professional cameras, noisemakers, and camping are all prohibited. You can bring an empty, reusable water bottle to fill at the refill stations inside the gates.
Your bag must be a clear tote (12″ x 12″ x 6″), plastic zip-top bag (11″ x 11″ x 0″), wallet, or clutch (6.5″ x 4.5″). Fanny packs and mesh bags are not allowed.
For parking, folks can pay $1 an hour at the East Parking Deck or $10 at the Stadium West parking lot.
In the event that it rains, ponchos and rain jackets are encouraged, but umbrellas are not allowed. The festival is rain or shine, however, but in the case of extreme inclement weather, the festival could be delayed or canceled.
