Gallery: Campus lights up for Litmas festivities

November 10, 2025 by Daniel Curd

The Student Government Association hosted its annual Litmas celebration Sunday night, bringing students and community members to the Campus Mall for an evening of festive activities, food and live music. This year’s tree lighting illuminated the area with twinkling lights as the celebration began. Attendees decorated Christmas ornaments, sipped hot chocolate, and posed for photos in front of the lit tree and themed backdrops. Food trucks lined the walkways, offering a variety of treats throughout the night. The evening’s featured performance came from The National Parks, who played a set of Christmas songs.
