WHY COME TO MOVIN' ON?

IT'S A FREE MUSIC FESTIVAL.

Since its inception in 1975, Movin' On has remained true to its roots by providing a fun-filled day of diverse music, exciting events, and community involvement. As a 18+ show, Movin’ On has remained a substance-free environment at no charge to Penn State students.

HOW DID MOVIN' ON COME ABOUT?

COLLABORATION BETWEEN UPUA, ARHS, AND SPA.

In the fall of 2010, Movin’ On was born through collaboration with four other other campus organizations. UPUA, GPSA, ARHS, and SPA held their own concerts in the springtime, but the students wanted one big show instead of four small scale events. With the help of UPAC, Movin’ On is funded through the Penn State student activity fee, and has combined forces with these other organizations to create one big festival.
