On Wednesday, October 23, Loyola Academy celebrated a community-favorite tradition—Fall Flavor Fest! As both a fundraising opportunity for clubs and a celebration of our vibrant community, it’s no wonder the resurgence of Fall Flavor Fest has become a popular event at Loyola. With 30 clubs participating in this year’s festivities, the event is poised to once again become a beloved annual tradition.
Marney Smyth ’25, a member of Student Council, explained "It's a great way for clubs to connect with students through food, especially food that isn’t normally available at school."
In true Rambler fashion, students stepped up to the plate to make Fall Flavor Fest happen, with over 400 students volunteering their time and talents. The Student Council led the revival effort, taking charge of ticket sales, organizing the day's events, working behind the scenes, and handling both setup and cleanup. Many of Loyola’s clubs contributed to the festivities, selling a wide variety of main dishes, sweets, and other treats for Ramblers to enjoy.
On the day of the fest, the West Gym was packed with Ramblers exploring the tasty selections each club offered. One of the best parts of Fall Flavor Fest is the variety of foods available. Every Rambler was able to find an old favorite, and some even discovered new ones.
Many thanks go to the students, faculty, and staff for their tireless work restoring this wonderful Loyola tradition. Below is a list of the participating clubs and the items they featured at the 2024 Fall Flavor Fest:
