Photo opportunity: Thurtene Carnival returns to WashU
Thurtene, the oldest student-run carnival in the United States, returns to WashU April 17-19. Highlights include a turkey leg-eating contest at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18, and entertainment from a cappella ensembles, dance troupes and bands.
Thurtene Carnival, WashU’s oldest and most beloved tradition, is introducing a new tradition this weekend — a private beer garden for students, alumni and community members 21 and older. Located on Francis Olympic Field, the beer garden will be open during the carnival’s evening hours and will feature entertainment from WashU student bands.
