After years of the festival being canceled, Spring Fling was permanently ended, according to a statement made by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona last week.
Rappers 070 Shake and Tkay Maizda and local bands The Hawthorne Experience, Desert Child and MARZ are headlining the 2023 Bear Down Music Festival on May 3, the first festival since 2019. The concert will take place on the middle of the University of Arizona Mall where students will be able to scan their CatCard.
