PACfest is a significant fundraising opportunity for PAC student organizations and clubs. Of all the food and novelty vendors at PACfest offering Fiesta favorites like chicken on a stick, turkey legs, and corn in a cup, most are student organizations raising money to support their club events and community initiatives held throughout the academic year. 

PACfest 2025 is scheduled for May 1, 2025
