Shocktoberfest a treat for thousands
Spirit rally, concert and free food drew thousands of students to annual party sponsored by ASUCI and UC Irvine Athletics.
On Friday, Oct. 14, UC Irvine held its sixth annual Shocktoberfest – featuring the West Coast’s largest Midnight Magic celebration – to mark the official beginning of the NCAA basketball season.
The event began with a street festival on Mesa Road that included free food, music, giveaways, games, a Halloween costume contest, and performances by UCI dance crews.
At about 8 p.m., the fun moved inside the Bren Events Center for a Midnight Magic show starring UCI’s 2011-12 men’s and women’s basketball teams. After player introductions, there was a “battle of the sexes” three-point and slam-dunk competition – with the Anteater men prevailing.
A hip-hop concert by New Boyz, Hoodie Allen and the Rej3ctz followed, and then festivities resumed on Mesa Road with Aftershock, a dance party featuring live DJs.
