Families and friends of THON gathered Sunday in the Multi-Sport Facility at Penn State for the annual Family Carnival for an afternoon of fun games and activities. In addition to the festival’s events, THON also revealed its 2026 logo for its theme, “Love Leads Forwards.”

Of course, our photographers were on the scene to capture everything happening around the event.

Various campus organizations had booths throughout the facility, giving families and guests plenty to do. Some booths included bracelet making, dress up, coloring, hair braiding and tinsel, and so much more.

There was plenty of fun for all involved, like a big, colorful parachute, freeze dance, golf, and more!

As the carnival came to an end, everyone gathered around for a mini pep rally and a friendly game of tug-of-war.

Before the logo reveal, those in attendance first heard a speech from one of the THON families about their story, did the line dance, and heard from the logo’s designer.

Finally, the logo for THON 2026 was revealed.

We dance in 74 days, folks!
