Buffalo, NY - A carnival atmosphere swept across the Canisius University campus on Friday, May 2, as students celebrated the annual Griff Fest. The beloved tradition gives students a well-deserved 'breather' on the last day of spring classes before they settle down to study for final exams.
Students let loose on inflatables, tested their luck at carnival games, competed for Canisius-themed giveaways, and even ziplined across campus. Local flavor was also in full supply, with some of Buffalo's most popular food trucks serving up their favorite fare.
Organized by the Student Programming Board, Griff Fest embodies campus life at Canisius: a balance of academic rigor with meaningful connections and memorable experiences outside the classroom. The spirited end-of-year send off marked 101 years this spring, evolving from its Quad Party origins.
