Another Hofstra University Fall Fest in the books! Carnival rides, student-built displays and rockin’ performances lined the schedule for one of Hofstra’s annual traditions on Saturday, Oct. 18. Pride Expo kicked off the unseasonably warm day with the university’s Greek organizations building themed displays that were later judged. They were followed shortly afterward by the carnival rides making their first go-arounds. The student performance by transcenDANCE, returning band Hello Brooklyn and the headlining performance by rapper Big Sean rounded off the main events, and the night ended with a colorful display of fireworks – another fantastic Fall Fest!
