One of UCF’s biggest traditions dating back from 1995 is back with Spirit Splash being set for next month during this year’s homecoming week.
The UCF Homecoming team took to their social media accounts to announce that this year’s spirit splash will take place on Friday Oct. 28 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
UCF students will be able to take part in one of the university’s longest traditions, Spirit Splash where thousands of participants will rush the reflecting pond to catch one of the few elusive ducks at the annual event.
As always there will be special guest speakers, and performances for the cheer team, Knightmoves and the Marching Knights.
Spirit Splash has been recognized as the best university tradition in the state of Florida by the National Association for Campus Activities and has even be featured in a special segment on ESPN in 2017.

Students typically start gathering for the event in past years by as early as 6 a.m. for a chance at catching one of the rare ducks so make sure to plan accordingly and only wear and bring things that you are comfortable getting wet!
