What is Quadmania?
Quadmania, one of UMBC's longest running traditions, is an outdoor festival and concert - usually one or more days filled with rides, games, food, vendors, student organizations, and fun! The event also features live music throughout the day, wrapping up with a concert by a national headlining band. This massive event generally occurs mid-April of every year, but we'll give you plenty of notice, because you'll start seeing our Quadmania posters and flyers EVERYWHERE!
