17th Annual NSU CommunityFest, Feb. 8

It’s that time of year again!

Join us for NSU’s 17th Annual CommunityFest on February 8, 2020 from noon to 4:00 p.m. With an average of 5000+ participants each year, CommunityFest celebrates and connects NSU students, employees, and their families through a carnival-like atmosphere around Gold Circle Lake, located on NSU’s Fort Lauderdale campus.

NSU CommunityFest was initiated and developed in 2003 by Michelle Manley, Ph.D., an NSU student who wanted to bring the university community together and build school spirit. While this is a student-initiated event, CommunityFest involves the collaboration of NSU staff and students, as well as community businesses and organizations. It is a great way to gain exposure for your college, department, student organizations, or business.
