About this Event
Reconnect with fellow Salukis this fall at one of Southern Illinois' favorite outdoor festivals! The SIU Alumni Association's Young Alumni Group is heading to the Little Grassy Get Down on Saturday, October 10 at SIU Touch of Nature.
Young alumni can take advantage of an exclusive Saturday Day Pass for just $35 by using the discount code YNGALUM26 when registering.
Please note: You may RSVP on this page, but please remember you will still need to purchase a ticket from Touch of Nature here.
This pass is good for the entire day, and the Alumni Association will have a tent set up from 3pm-8pm. Throughout that time, please feel free to stop by the tent to relax, enjoy complimentary snacks, and connect with other recent graduates before heading back out to explore everything the festival has to offer.
Your Saturday pass includes a full day of activities for all ages, including:
- Guided bike rides with Ride Illinois
- High-adventure experiences like the Giant Swing and Rock Wall
- A Kids Instrument Petting Zoo presented by Y'all Rock
- Move & Groove Kids Yoga
- Live music, local vendors, food, and drinks throughout the day
You'll also find a tattoo pop-up from Neon Tiger, with proceeds benefiting SIU Touch of Nature, plus coffee from Baby Bean Coffee, the bar & grill, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful setting at Little Grassy Lake.
Children ages 15 and under receive free admission, so bring the family with you!
