Blue and Gold Night, the most popular Akins social tradition, provides the perfect escape for the stress of the fall semester.

The countless performances, festivities, and delicious food ensure that it’s a night to look forward to every year.

Festival goers suffered no shortage of entertainment this year. With a haunted house, photo booth, petting zoo, and much more, there was plenty to do for people of all ages. If the booths weren’t enough, performances from the Diamond Dazzlers, Akins Journey Theatre, and others carried on throughout the night.

“I thought all the performances were really good, although the Diamond Dazzlers were my favorite,” senior Tony Do said.

All the walking, dancing, and activities helped festival goers work-up an appetite. Students had no trouble satisfying their hunger; however, as the festival had every base covered when it came to food, ranging from pancakes to hamburgers to funnel cakes.

“There was so much food there. I don’t think I could’ve  tasted everything if I tried,” senior Cristian Lopez said.

The night’s success is sure to help the school, as the money raised at the booths will go directly to it’s sponsor.
