Our Landmark Student Events

Be a part of our traditions. Saints Staples are the main events that make the Flagler experience like none other. Welcome Week kicks off every semester with participation from departments across campus. Glowtober is our yearly paint rave where you can let loose on the Commons Greens.

We also have two of our biggest events, Flagler Fest and Harry Potter Week. Flagler Fest is a students-only concert at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre, which has featured artists like Waka Flocka Flame and BigXthaPlug. Harry Potter Week happens every November when Ponce Dining Hall becomes The Great Hall and features a week-long set of Harry Potter-themed events, including house sorting. Learn more about our yearly events below and see how you can be a part of the traditions.
