Spring carnival on Friday always a ‘Big Night’ at Purdue Fort Wayne

As Purdue University Fort Wayne gears up for the end of its spring semester, the 2023 edition of Mastodons Big Night will give students, faculty, staff, and community members a chance to kick back and relax along the banks of the beautiful St. Joseph River. In what has become an annual carnival extravaganza on the PFW campus, rides, games, and plenty of opportunities to socialize will be on the agenda for all who attend. As expected, food and dessert items from sources such as Aladdin, Local Apple Cart, King Arthur’s Trolley, and Wicked Good Cupcakes will also be available for purchase.

Mastodons Big Night is set for Friday between 5 and 10 p.m. in parking lots 10 and 11 on the west side of the main campus. Purdue Fort Wayne and Indiana Fort Wayne students can get into the carnival for free. Tickets for PFW and IUFW employees and their family members are $20 per person, and $25 for members of the general public. Admission includes access to all the rides.
