KALAMAZOO—The 34th annual Bronco Bash at Western Michigan University is set for 3 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, on the Sangren Pedestrian Mall.

The early registration deadline for booth space is 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1. Applications submitted after that date will be assessed a $25 late fee and processed pending available booth space.

A campus tradition

Each year, over 450 student organizations, university departments, and local businesses and organizations participate in Bronco Bash by providing information, involvement opportunities, and promotional items and coupons to a crowd of some 20,000 people. The event also features novelty attractions, food vendors and a variety of entertainment acts.

"Bronco Bash is the welcome back festival for WMU and a celebration of everything that makes Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo special. It is also an important event for first-year students, as they acclimate to campus and discover opportunities to make their college experience more memorable," says Sarah Hurd, assistant director of WMU's Student Activities and Leadership Programs. She adds, "We encourage students, faculty, staff and community members to engage with the variety of activities on that day. There truly is something for everyone!"
