Before finals begin, Hopkins students flock to the Beach and Keyser Quad for a cherished end-of-the-year tradition: Spring Fair, which returned to Homewood campus for its 53rd run. The event kicked off Thursday evening with a culture show at Shriver Hall, followed by fireworks at Keyser Quad. On Friday and Saturday, JHU community members gathered outdoors to enjoy lawn games, inflatables, and endless offerings from food vendors.
