The Barn Reunion!
Relive “the good old days” at the Barn Reunion, August 6, from 9 pm—12:30 am at UPEI’s W. A. Murphy Student Centre. For one night only, generation of Panthers who spent much of their student life in the Barn will come together to recall old memories and create new ones at the Barn Reunion.
Music will be provided by special guest DJs Blake Doyle, Joel Ives, and Scott Ferris. The evening will feature a special tribute to the Class of 1991, who are celebrating 25 years since their graduation. There will be a memorabilia display, music, door prizes, and more!
“I'm looking forward to seeing lots of friends from the past and helping to create a Barn Reunion that will be reminiscent of the good old days,” said Blake Doyle, one of the evening’s guest DJs. “I am excited to assist alumni and friends of the barn to reconnect, socialize, and celebrate all the development and changes of our prized provincial university.”
