Columbia’s most exciting live performance series celebrates 60 years — sort of.
When Bacchanal was born in 1964, it had a different name: Spring Weekend. During the next few decades, the name, location and overall event style evolved — at different times it was known as “Springfest” and “Columbiafest” — until 1995, when it became the one-day, on-campus spring concert that Columbians know and love, headlined that year by Run-DMC.
Three years later, it got the name that stuck: Bacchanal.
The event is presented by CU Bacchanal, the largest student-run music organization on campus. To mark the anniversary (-ish!), we put together a selection of photos from great performances through the years.
Published three times a year by Columbia College for alumni, students, faculty, parents and friends.
