On April 27, the Brandeis tradition of Springfest swept across campus in full force. This year, the Campus Activity Board spared no expense at making the day one to remember. Not swayed by a bit of rain, CAB staff circulated through the Brandeis residence halls at 10 a.m. with tins of breakfast sandwiches. From that moment, the festivities were nonstop. Students in the campus center lined up to get temporary tattoos, pashminas and free jewelry at different stands set up all over the atrium. The morning was filled with treats and celebration, lighting spirits on campus and preparing everyone for the music. 

By 3 p.m. people were lining up outside Chapels Field, eagerly awaiting entry to the concert. Three Brandeis student artists — disk jockey Jaga ’26, singer and songwriter Hazel Drew ’28 and Mix Match — kicked off the afternoon, each in their own unique way. Baby Tate took the stage next, hyping up the audience and leaving everyone in the crowd dancing. The headliner for the evening, Daya, came on at 6 p.m. She played newer songs as well as her nostalgic classics “Hide Away,” and “Don’t Let Me Down.” All in all, from the festivities, to the food to the music, it was a day to remember.
