Couch Fest 2025

About
Couch Fest is our lively annual arts festival, showcasing the incredible talents of music and visual arts students from across multiple programs. 2025 marks our 11th year, and this year’s theme is The Wizard of Oz!
Enjoy live performances from student bands across four stages, captivating dance performances and explore a dazzling exhibition of artwork available for purchase. Browse one-of-a-kind handmade goods, indulge in delicious treats for both people and pets, and discover treasures at the second-hand clothing stall. Don’t miss the themed photo booth or the whimsical lemonade stand, transformed into a Jazz Lounge with guest pianists performing throughout the night.
The much-loved Eco Café returns with coffee, sweet treats, and their famous toasties. You’ll also find a variety of food trucks—including woodfired pizzas from Primo Pizza, authentic Korean dishes from KIMU, and a special surprise vendor. Remember to bring your refillable water bottles and keep cups!
