SpartyFest

SPARTYFEST 2026 @ Hopsmith
Chicago Spartans Annual Summer Party

Think of SpartyFest as the Chicago Spartans’ version of Oktoberfest — our annual celebration to kick off the fall, the school year, and another season of Spartan football.

SpartyFest is a cocktail-style, social party built for reconnecting with fellow alumni, meeting new Spartans in Chicago, and setting the tone for everything fun that comes with the fall season. Whether you’re a longtime Chicago Spartan or new to the city, this is the night to plug in, catch up, and celebrate the start of another great year.
