The wait is over! The theme for this year’s Oktoberfest has been revealed by Longwood University’s Mortar Board, and it is sure to be a favorite of everyone: Throwback to the 90s.
On Wednesday, Sept. 11, students gathered outside of the front of Lankford Student Union as music played and people danced just minutes before 11:55 a.m. At that time, the music switched to popular songs from the 1990s and numerous students stood on the steps of the building holding posters that showed the bands that would be playing. One by one, the posters were turned and The Hunts, Travis Porter, Startin’ Somethin’, Reality Bites Back, Chase Rice and Rebelution were revealed as the main attractions.
This year’s Oktoberfest T-shirts are available for purchase in Dorrill Dining Hall during lunch and dinner rushes in the weeks leading up the event. Short sleeves are $10 and long sleeves are $15.
Booth sign-ups for organizations are also underway. Oktoberfest weekend begins Friday, Oct. 4 and will go until the evening of Sunday, Oct. 6.
