Friday, 8 p.m.
Dusk has fallen, but the night is just getting started on Green Street. Students and their moms bustle from place to place, getting ready for a night out on the town.
Lines at the bars are short, creating the perfect time to grab some drinks after happy hour and before tonight when the crowds roll in.
Campus bars have begun their Moms Weekend celebrations, and senior in LAS Madison Humanicki was headed from dinner at Joe’s to karaoke night at KAMS this Friday night.
“Tomorrow we’re gonna go to the winery and also vineyards,” Humanicki said. Alto Vineyards in Champaign has a slew of activities and events planned for the upcoming weekend.
Humanicki also shared plans to check out the Illini Union Board Craft and Vendor Fair on campus tomorrow.
Taking place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow, the Craft and Vendor Fair will feature local vendors from around the Champaign-Urbana area.
One mother and son duo have a plethora of Greek-sponsored events this weekend. “There’s brunch tomorrow at the country club for his fraternity,” said Delta Tau Delta mom Anne Adelstein. “Then he has an event for his business fraternity.”
Roaring music blasts into the night from campus favorites The Red Lion, KAMS and Joe’s, and mother-daughter and son duos can be seen starting the weekend with fervor.
“We’re trying to hit all the bars,” Humanicki said. “But right now KAMS has karaoke, so I’m really excited for that.”
